2-16. GROUP ASSEMBLY PARTS LIST.2-17. The Group Assembly Parts List (GAPL) con-tains illustrations and parts lists for each major as-sembly. These illustrations and accompanying listsshow how the major assemblies are disassembled intosubassemblies and detail parts. Each item illustratedis indexed for identification purposes. Each illustra-tion is accompanied by a parts list providing a partnumber, description, and quantity for each item. Thelist is arranged in disassembly order. Through the useof a system of indentation, the relationship of thedetail parts to the subassemblies and the relationshipof the subassemblies to the main assembly, is shown.

2-18. F I G URE AND I NDE X NUM BE R CO L-UMN. The figure and index number of each itemshown on the corresponding illustration appears in theFigure and Index Number Column, with the exceptionof assemblies and subassemblies which are not illus-trated in assembled form. In these cases, the assembliesor subassemblies are listed but not indexed. The com-ponent parts thereof are both listed and indexed.

2-19. PART NUMBER COLUMN. This columncontains the contractor’s drawing number, governmentstandard number, vendor drawing number or identifiesthe part as being commercial hardware (COML). Gov-ernment standard parts are listed using the applicableMS, AN, AF, NAS, MIL, or JAN part number. Wherethe part number is controlled by a military specifica-tion, this specification number is listed in the De-scription Column.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

2-3

2-20. DESCRIPTION COLUMN. This column liststhe item name plus those modifiers necessary to iden-tify the item. The description of a vendor-supplieditem includes a five-digit number which identifies themanufacturer. This is the Commercial and Govern-ment Entity (CAGE) code. To correlate this CAGEcode to the manufacturer’s name, refer to the catalog-ing handbook H4/H8. CAGE codes may be omittedfor prime manufacturer’s parts and for governmentstandard parts. When applicable, contractor’s controldrawing numbers and reference designations of elec-tronic parts are also listed for general reference.When a separate exploded view is used to show thedetail parts of an assembly or subassembly the De-scription Column contains an appropriate figure cross-reference in parenthesis following the description.This cross-reference appears both in the listing wherethe assembly is first described, and in the listingwhich the assembly is broken down. In the lattercase, the abbreviation REF will appear in the UnitsPer Assembly column. Commercial hardware items(COML) are fully described so that they may be pro-cured from normal commercial sources. Parts stockedin kits are identified with kit component code in thiscolumn, i.e., KD.

2-21. Indentation. The indentations headed “1”through “7” in the Description Column are providedto show the relationship of assemblies and their detailparts. The detail parts are indented one space to theright and listed below the assembly to which theybelong. Determine the next higher assembly (NHA)of any detail part by locating, in the next space tothe left (excluding attaching parts) the first itemabove the detailed part.

Section 3-2. Flyer’s Summer Coverall, Fire Resistant

3-5. GENERAL.

3-6. Four types of Flyer’s Summer Coveralls present-ly authorized for use are CWU-27/P (Sage Green orKhaki), CWU-73/P, Enhanced Air Force Flight Suit(EAFFS), and Modified Enhanced Air Force FlightSuit (MEAFFS) (see Figure 3-1). These coveralls aredesigned to be worn as an outer garment in warmtemperature zones and to provide protection in theevent wearer is exposed to hazard of fire.

3-7. CONFIGURATION.

3-8. The coveralls are one-piece, unlined garmentsfabricated from aramid cloth, which is a high tempera-ture-resistant, and inherently flame-retardant synthet-ic fabric which has no hot-melt point or drip charac-teristics. The lightweight fabric will not supportcombustion but will begin to char at 700_ to 800_F.The fabric has abrasion resistance similar to nylon,and like nylon, aramid is nonabsorbent. Because ofthis characteristic, for optimum comfort, cotton un-derwear should be worn under the coveralls.

3-9. Coveralls are supplied in sizes 32 Short to 52Long. Sizes and dimensions are listed in Table 3-1.

3-10. See Table 3-2 for configurations of authorizedsummer coveralls and their availability within theFederal Stock System.

3-11. APPLICATION.

3-12. The Flyer’s Summer Coveralls are designatedfor use by all pilots and other authorized aircrewmem-bers.

3-13. FITTING.

WARNING

Sleeves of the coveralls shall always beworn closed at the wrist to ensure maxi-mum fire protection. Front slide fastenershall be completely closed and the backcollar shall be worn upright and tuckedinto the helmet to avoid skin exposure ina fire.

Tight f i t t ing coveral ls decrease flameprotection by eliminating the needed airpocket between wearer and fabric.

3-14. The summer flyer’s coverall is loosely fitted tothe aircrewmember. Sizes and garment dimensions arelisted in Table 3-1. The coverall is used with standardNavy personal equipment and is worn under the anti-ggarment. The coverall sleeves shall always be worndown and closed at the wrist to ensure maximum fireprotection.

3-15. The Type II CWU-27/P Class 1 (Sage Green)and Class 2 (Khaki) Women Flyers’ Summer Coverallhas a slightly extended front zipper required for use ofpersonal relief systems, and is available in even sizes30-44 misses (M) and women’s (W), lengths short,regular and long. Short lengths are intended for wear-ers with heights less than 64 inches. Regular lengthsare intended for wearers with heights of 64 to 68inches. Long lengths are intended for wearers withheights of greater than 68 inches. See Table 3-3 forsizing.

3-16. MODIFICATIONS.

NOTE

The left sleeve pencil pockets on the Fly-er’s Summer Coveralls may be moved tothe right sleeve at the discretion of theaircrewman. This change provides easieraccess to the pocket for left-handed air-crewmen.

Replacement of lower leg pocket slide fas-tener closure with hook and pile tape, orremoval of lower leg pockets of the Flyer’sSummer Coveralls by Fleet maintenancepersonnel is at the discretion of the air-crewman. To remove pocket, carefully re-move stitching of pocket from coverall sothat integrity of coverall will not be com-promised. An optional knife pocket (NIIN01-318-0468) can be installed on left thigharea.

3-17. All Modified Enhanced Air Force Flight Suits(MEAFFS) shall have requirements of ACB 834incorporated. See paragraphs 3-32 and 3-36. Repairs,fabrications, and installations to maintain serviceabili-ty are listed in Table 3-4. All Enhanced Air ForceFlight Suits (EAFFS) shall have the lower right legpocket flap removed and be sewn closed in accor-dance with paragraph 3-36.

Section 3-9. Multi-Climate Protection System (MCPS)

3-161. GENERAL.3-162. MCPS is composed of 13 pieces, which canbe mixed and matched to form six different individuallayers. The MCPS is a modular garment system,which can be worn in conjunction with current flightsuits and aviation flight equipment in a broad rangeof climate conditions by adding or removing layersthat provide flame resistance, moisture management,and thermal wind and water protection. Four differentstate of the art, flame resistant textiles were devel-oped exclusively for use in the MCPS garments.

3-163. CONFIGURATION.3-164. The MCPS consists of the components listedin Table 3-15 and are summarized below:

1. The Silkweight garment set (Figure 3-13) is alightweight layer for times when a warmer layer isnot needed or for layering under a thicker layer. Thefabric is an aramid rashel knit that provides breath-ability, insulation and flame resistance. The shirt hasa thumbhole in the cuff to allow the sleeve to be heldin place when donning other layers overtop. It canalso be used to keep the hand partially covered withthe cuff for warmth. The shirt has an aramid meshfabric on the bottom to reduce bulk when tucking itin. The drawer has a front fly and elastic waist. Theelastic stirrup on the bottom of the leg is to aid indonning layers overtop and can be cut off by aircrewwho do no like this feature.

2. The midweight garment set (Figure 3-14) is amedium weight layer for use alone or for layeringover and under other layers of the MCPS. The setis constructed of an aramid fleece engineered to pro-vide flame protection in a garment that wicks andprovides a comfortable fit. The aramid fleece is wornon the inside next to the skin and a polyester Lycrablend on the outside to provide a closer fit. The shirthas an aramid mesh cloth on the bottom to reducebulk when tucking in. The drawer has a front fly andelastic waist. The elastic stirrup on the bottom of theleg is to aid in donning layers overtop and can becut off by aircrew who do no like this feature.

3. The heavyweight garment set (Figure 3-15) willprovide the level of protection required for in-waterimmersion when used with the anti-exposure coverall.The zip neck shirt is made of an aramid double ve-lour with is modeled after the 200 weight polyesterdouble velour available commercially. This layer can

be worn alone or with the Silkweight and/or Mid-weight layers under a flight suit or an anti-exposuresuit. Due to the knit structure of the fabric and thecompressibility, it increases comfort and mobilitywhen compared to currently fielded garments. Theshirt has a Nomex mesh on the bottom to reduce bulkwhen tucking in. The liner pant has a front fly andelastic waist.

4. The overall (Figure 3-16) was developed to beworn over the flight suit and underneath the shellpant to provide insulation to aircrew on helicoptersor in the back of patrol and cargo fixed wing aircraftwho work in an environment with very little, if any,capability to provide heat. The design enables theoverall to be put on while wearing boots, and has asuspender that adjusts with Velcro in order to avoidhardware that could press into the body and createa hot spot. Aircrews that wear a torso harness willnot use this item. The overall is made from the samedouble weight velour as the heavyweight garments.

T h e F l e e c e J a c k e t (Figure 3-17) a n d Ve s t(Figure 3-18) is designed to be worn over the Silk-weight, midweight and/or heavyweight garments,alone or under the shell outer jacket on cold/wetdays. The garments provide warmth without weight andblocks 95% of the wind while still providing outstand-ing breathability. The garments are water-repellent andshed rain and snow; dries quickly. The vest provideswarmth to the body core on moderately cold days whilestill providing freedom of movement. The garments areconstructed of an aramid 300 weight double fleece en-gineered to provide flame protection in a garment thatwicks and provides comfort.

6. The Outershell Jacket/Hood (Figure 3-19) andTrousers (Figure 3-20) are a waterproof, windproof,and breathable flame-resistant GortexTM Best Defensefabric, developed and manufactured for the MCPS.The outershell jacket can be used alone or over theother MCPS garments as layered protection. The jack-et is designed to stay on the hip, has waterproofzippers, a “map” pocket on the upper left chest, handwarmer pockets behind the large front patch pockets,and the jacket has a survival hood which can besnapped onto the collar. The shell pant is made ofthe same fabric as the shell jacket. The pant can be

put on while wearing boots and comes with suspend-ers to help keep them in place. The outershell trou-sers can be used alone or over the other MCPS com-ponents as layered protection.

7. The faceshield, (Figure 3-21) is a unisex pull-over style garment designed for use in rotary wingaircraft only. The faceshield is a semi-form fit, soft,warm, wind-resistant, fire-resistant garment with aminimum of bulk. The faceshield can be worn underthe helmet or as a stand-alone cold weather garment.The faceshield is constructed of aramid fleece, witha black stretch, velour panel insert at the back to helpfacilitate donning and doffing. The ear inserts aremade of a mesh knit that provides a layer of protec-tion while still allowing unimpeded hearing throughthe aircrewmember’s helmet/cranial/headset withoutremoving the faceshield. The left front has a slit inthe fleece to facilitate the use of a boom microphone.The faceshield comes in 2 sizes (medium/large andextra-large) and can be worn up, covering the face,nose, mouth, chin, ears and neck, or in the downposition covering the neck only. The faceshield wasdesigned to be tucked under a shirt or jacket for fullneck protection.

If the leather/fabric upper of the boot is still in good condition butthe sole is heavily damaged consider having the bootresoled as opposed to completely replacing the boot.See paragraph 3-470 for information pertaining toavailability of replacement sole and having the bootresoled.

3. Inspect boots to insure that they are Navy au-thorized boots with proper identification, e.g. NIIN,Contract Number, Part Number, or manufactures partnumber. Unauthorized boots that have been open pur-chased from commercial establishments may not havethe proper flame resistance or steel toes and are notauthorized. All currently authorized boots are locatedin this manual. Information on any newly authorizedboots for aircrewmen will be distributed to the fleetvia Naval message traffic such as the State of the ArtMessage.



3-466. CLEANING.

3-467. To clean the 330 DES ST Desert Tan Flyer’sBoot proceed as follows:

1. Brush mud and excessive dust off leather. Theleather has a suede finish and is not designed to bepolished.

2. Upper fabric should be cleaned with a soft ny-lon bristle brush and warm water. Do not apply polishto the upper fabric; this will reduce the breathabilityof the boot.


3-469. Repairs and fabrications shall be performed bythe lowest maintenance level possible. Repairs arelimited to replacing laces conforming to V--L--61(NIIN 00--945--3969) and having the sole replaced ifdesired at a cost of approximately $50.00 (includesshipping).


NOTE

Do not wear rubber outsole into polyure-thane mid--sole. Resoling is available if theleather and fabric upper is in good condi-tion.

Section 3-24. All Weather Sock System

3-472. GENERAL.

3-473. The all weather sock system (Figure 3-37) isdesigned for use in all temperatures. It will be espe-cially applicable in moderate to extreme cold condi-tions but can also be used in hot weather.


3-475. The sock system is designed as two layers worntogether to provide optimum insulation and com-fort. The first layer is a wicking (liner) sock worn nextto the foot. This sock is constructed from fibers thatwill wick perspiration away from the foot and into anouter layer, thereby keeping moisture off the foot. Theliner sock is available in 5 sizes, extra-extra-smallthrough large (Table 3-33), and color of the liner sockis black. The heavyweight sock provides thermalprotection from cold and heat. This sock is worn withthe loops on the outside, giving the appearance of beingworn inside out. The sock is make of 50% wool/50%polypropylene, is available in 7 sizes, 9 through 15(Table 3-33), and is natural in color.

3-476. APPLICATION.

3-477. The socks are designated for use by all air-crewmembers. Boots worn with this sock system mayneed to be 1 to 1 1/2 sizes larger than the typical sizeworn by the aircrew to accommodate the additionalbulk. Aircrew boot allowance has been increased forthis reason. If the boot is a tight fit overtop the socksystem, the insulation properties will not be as effec-tive.

3-478. FITTING.

3-479. The liner sock is available in sizes extra-extra-small through large. These sizes are the same as dresssock sizes. The liner sock will stretch. The heavyweight sock is available in sizes 9 through 15. Thesesizes are similar to extra-extra-small through extra-extra-large. The heavy weight sock does not stretch as muchas the liner sock.

Figure 3-44. HAU-15/P Cold WeatherFlyer’s Glove


3-603. The Cold Weather Flyer’s Glove is designed toprovide maximum tactility and dexterity while providing

warmth. The fingertips have a unique design that elimi-nates a seam from the end of the tip that allows forbetter tactility. The back of the fingers have a pleatwhich increases dexterity and mobility. The outer shellis constructed from a durable black sheepskin leatheron the palm and fingertips. The back of the shell is astretchable, sage-green, light-weight knit aramid fab-ric. The glove is lined with two different weights ofinsulation. On the back of the hand is a 100gm weightinsulation laminated to a cotton lining. The palm andfingertips have a 40gm weight insulation laminated toa cotton lining. The lighter weight insulation on thepalm increases tactil-ity and dexterity. The cottonlining prevents melting/dripping of the insulation ontothe hand in the event of an aircraft fire. An aramidknit cuff at the bottom of the glove and elastic at thewrist keeps drafts from entering the glove. The elasticacross the back of the hand gives a snugger fit. Thegloves are available in sizes 5 to 11, see Table 3-38.

3-604. APPLICATION.

3-605. The gloves are designated for use by all air-crewmembers and are to be used for in-flight opera-tions. (There is another cold weather glove desig-nated the HAU-14/P. The HAU-14/P is intended forcolder conditions, wet conditions, or for those whoneed a warmer glove. The aircrewmember should de-cide which glove is best for them.)

CHAPTER 4

ANTI-g GARMENTS


4-1. GENERAL.

4-2. The Anti-g Garments discussed in this chapter aredesigned to provide protection against the effects ofhigh g-forces experienced by aircrew personnel as-signed to high performance aircraft.

4-3. CONFIGURATION.

4-4. Anti-g garments consist of a bladder system en-cased in fire-resistant cloth outer shell. As g-forcesincrease, the bladders inflate automatically to pres-sures predetermined by an automatic valve systeminstalled in the aircraft. The bladders, when inflated,

apply pressure on the body to restrict the flow of blooddownward to the aircrewmember’s waist and feet tolessen the effects of blackout. Individual garments tobe discussed in the following sections are theCSU-15/P, CSU-13B/P, and CSU-20/P which fit fromthe waist down and are worn over the standard flightsuit. The CSU-21/P Counter Pressure Vest, also dis-cussed in this chapter, is worn on the upper torso overthe standard flight suit.

4-5. APPLICATION.

4-6. Anti-g garments are used by aircrewmen assignedto high performance aircraft.

Section 4-2. CSU-15/P, CSU-13B/P and CSU--15A/P Anti-g Garments

4-7. GENERAL.4-8. The CSU-15/P anti-g garment (MIL-A-81905)(Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-3) and the CSU-13B/P anti-ggarment (MIL-A-83406B) (Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-4)provide protection against the effect of g-forces experi-enced in high performance aircraft. The CSU--15A/Panti--g garment is identical to the current CSU-13B/Pin form, fit, and function, and will be used as analternative to the CSU-13B/P anti--g garment for Navy/Marine Corps only. All maintenance actions for theCSU--15A/P will be accomplished using the proceduresfor the CSU--13B/P.

NOTE

CSU-13B/P garments wil l replace theCSU-15/P garments on an attrition basis.

4-9. CONFIGURATION.

4-10. The anti-g garments (Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4)consist of a fire-resistant aramid cloth outershell whichhouses a bladder. They are cut away at the buttocks,

groin, and knees. The outershell has waist and legentrance slide fasteners, adjustment lacing areas withlacing covers, and leg pockets with slide fastenerclosures. The CSU-13B/P also has a knife pocket onthe front left thigh, and thigh take-ups with slidefasteners. The bladder system is constructed of poly-urethane coated nylon cloth and covers the abdomen,thighs, and calves. The bladder system is fitted with ahose for connecting directly to the aircraft anti-gsystem. Refer to Table 4-1 for sizing.

4-11. APPLICATION.

4-12. CSU-15/P and CSU-13B/P anti-g garments areissued to individual aircrewmembers and are used inconjunction with standard Navy personal equipment.The CSU--15A/P anti--g garment is identical to thecurrent CSU-13B/P in form, fit, and function, and willbe used as an alternative to the CSU-13B/P anti--ggarment for Navy/Marine Corps only. All maintenanceactions for the CSU--15A/P will be accomplished usingthe procedures for the CSU--13B/P.

9. Perform a Place-In-Service inspection in accor-dance with paragraph 4-26.


4-15. ANTI-g GARMENT. The anti-g garment isfitted and adjusted to the aircrewmember on a bestfit basis. Use Table 4-1 as a guide for selection. Thecords shall be laced in the same direction as theapplicable lacing cover slide fastener closure. When-ever possible, the anti-g garment should be fitted overthe summer flyer’s coverall, such that the lace adjust-ments are almost completely tightened. This will as-sure that the size coverall selected can be refitted toaccommodate larger anti-exposure assemblies.

NOTE

During fitting and flight, the thigh take-upslide fasteners shall be closed. The thightake-up slide fasteners may be left open forcomfort during pre/post flight.

1. To fit proceed as follows:

a. Pull firmly on the cut ends of the lacingcords until a proper fit is achieved.

b. Tie ends in a double half-hitch knot. SeeFigure 4-3 and Figure 4-4.

NOTE

Do not cut off excess laces.

c. Fake excess lacing cord, secure with a light-weight rubber band and stow behind tightened laces.With a proper fit, cutout areas of anti-g garmentshould expose the knees, groin and buttocks withoutbinding or hindering movement. The garment shouldfit snugly, but not tight, with the bladder deflated.The inflated bladder should compress the waist,thighs and calves firmly and evenly. If a snug fitcannot be achieved, refer to paragraph 4-16 for cus-tom fitting.

NOTE

It is recommended that after donning thesuit, the wrinkles be manually worked out ofthe bladder’s seams to reduce discomfort.

CAUTION

When doffing garment do not use quick re-lease feature of leg slide fastener as thismay l imit service l i fe of the garment(CSU-15/P only).

2. To loosen laces for refitting over anti-exposureassemblies, proceed as follows:

a. Untie the securing knot, grasp the bottomloop of the lacing cord and pull down firmly forminga loop.

b. Work sides to loosen laces and extend gar-ment fitting area.

c. Refit as in step 1 above.

WARNING

Ensure that pleat does not interfere withwaist bladder function.

2. Form a pleat in the waist between the hose andthe zipper of the adjustment lace cover. The size ofthe pleat should allow the waist to fit slightly loosewhile in the proper body position.

4p15s2

Step 2 - Para 4-16

3. Mark the position of the pleat with chalk.

4. Repeat the procedure for the thigh by forminga pleat between the lace adjustment cover stitchingand the bladder. The pleat should be as close to thelace adjustment as stitching will permit.

4p15s4

Step 4 - Para 4-16

5. Mark the position of the pleat with chalk.

6. Have aircrewmember remove the garment.

7. Lay the garment out flat and refold the pleatsas marked.

NOTEAll stitching shall be in accordance withASTM-D-6193, Type 301 lockstitch, 7 to 10stitches per inch with minimum 1/2-inchbackstitch. Refer to paragraph 4-17 for ma-terials required.

4p15s7

Step 7 - Para 4-16

8. Stitch the pleats. Secure at each end using aboxstitch 1/8-inch from the edge of each side of thepleat. Backstitch 1/2-inch on all stitching.

4p15s8

Step 8 - Para 4-16

9. Reducing the calf size does not usually requirethe aircrewmember to don the anti-g garment, asthere is very little excess material to work with. Pro-ceed with steps 10 through 12 if it has been deter-mined that reducing the size of the calf is needed.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

4-9

NOTE

Modifying the calf is only authorized on themedium and large anti-g garments as thesmaller sizes do not have enough excess ma-terial to perform the procedure. Even modi-fying the medium and larger sizes will notmake a significant difference in the fit ofthe anti-g garment, thus this procedure formodifying the calf has very limited benefitto very few aircrewmembers.

Step 9 - Para 4-164p15s9

10. Form a pleat between the lace adjustment cov-er stitching and the shin pocket by placing the exist-ing row of stitching of the lacing adjustment coveredge on top of the existing row of stitching of theshin pocket edge.

Step 10 - Para 4-164p15s10

WARNING

Ensure that pleat does not interfere with calfbladder function.

11. Stitch the pleat in place with two rows ofstitches, side by side, down the entire length of theoverlapping lacing adjustment cover edge and theshin pocket edge. Reinforce using minimum of 1-inchbackstitching.

Step 11 - Para 4-164p15s11

12. Have aircrewmember don garment. Refit inaccordance with paragraph 4-15.

13. Inspect anti-g garment in accordance withparagraph 4-26.

Section 4-5. CSU-20/P22P-16 Anti-g Garment

4-89. GENERAL.

4-90. The CSU-20/P22P-16 Anti-g Garment(Figure 4-9) is a component of the Navy Combat Edge(NCE) A/P22P-16 Aircrew Protective Assembly. TheCSU-20/P22P-16 anti-g garment provides 40% greaterbladder coverage to restrict the flow of blood to thelower portion of the body than either the CSU-13B/Por CSU-15/P anti-g garments.


4-92. The CSU-20/P22P-16 has a flame resistant clothouter shell which houses a bladder. It is cut away atthe groin and knees. The outer shell has waist andinner-leg slide fasteners, adjustment lacing with cov-ers, and leg pockets with slide fastener closures. Thelower garment bladder inflates automatically to apressure determined by the automatic anti-g suit pres-sure regulating valve installed aboard the aircraft. Ag-sensing line located between the oxygen regulatorand the male portion of the g-suit hose quick connectprovides the pneumatic signal to the regulator thatenables the NCE system to operate. The bladder, wheninflated, restricts the downward flow of blood to thewaist and feet, thereby lessening the effect of bloodpooling. When using the CSU-20/P22P-16 anti--g gar-ment as a stand alone piece of equipment the g-sensingline is not used. Do not remove the g-sensing line butensure it is firmly secured in its channel on the g-suithose.

4-93. APPLICATION.

4-94. The CSU-20/P22P-16 Anti-g Garment is a com-ponent of the Navy Combat Edge (NCE) System and isdesigned to be used only by aircrew personnel assignedto high performance aircraft with the proper automaticanti-g suit valve installed. Except for F/A-18 seriesaircraft, the CSU-20/P22P anti-g garment cannot beused as an alternative in place of the CSU-15 seriesand the CSU-13 series anti--g garments, unless specifi-cally authorized by NAVAIR 4.0P interim flight clear-ance.


4-96. There are currently no modifications authorizedfor the CSU-20/P22P-16 Anti-g Garment. SeeTable 4-9.

4-97. FITTING.

4-98. The CSU-20/P22P-16 Anti-g Garment is fittedand adjusted to aircrew personnel on a best fit basis.Use Table 4-10 as a guide for selection of initial fit.The anti-g garment should be fitted over the summerflyer’s coverall. Some readjustment in size selectionmay be required to accommodate bulkier anti-exposureassemblies. The overall fit should be snug, not tight,due to the large volume of inflated bladders. Theanti-g garment is fitted as follows:

1. Loosen all laces on garment but do not removelaces from eyelets. Open all thigh comfort slide fas-teners.

2. Have aircrewmember don CSU-21/P22P-16Counter Pressure Vest fitted in accordance with para-graph 4-53.

3. Have aircrewmember don CSU-20/P22P-16Anti-g Garment and close waist slide fastener. Thetop edge of the anti-g garment should be just belowbottom of wearer’s rib cage. The hem of the counterpressure vest must overlap the top (waist line) ofanti-g garment.

4. After donning anti-g garment, manually workout wrinkles of the flight suit to reduce discomfort.

CAUTION

Failure to evenly distribute the tightnessamong the four waist lacing assemblies canlead to premature failure of the garment.

NOTE

Laces are threaded beginning in the middleand lacing toward the top and bottom of thelacing eyelets.

5. Beginning with the top portion of each waistlacing assembly, tighten lacing cords, ensuring theyare securely and equally tightened.

6. Continue with lower portion of each waist lac-ing assembly adjusting side and back lacings as nec-essary to obtain snug, but comfortable fit. Do notlace so tight as to restrict normal breathing or com-press aircrew members abdomen. When properly ad-justed, one should be able to slip the open handbetween the waist section and the aircrewmember’sabdomen.

9. Position the knee hole openings so wearer’skneecaps are centered. Have aircrew member closeleg slide fasteners. Close thigh slide fasteners. Closeslide fastener covers.

NOTE

The thigh comfort slide fasteners shall beclosed during fitting and when in the air-craft. However, they may be left open forcomfort during pre/post flight.

10. Tighten thigh and calf laces, ensuring thatknees stay centered in knee holes and garment ex-tends down to boot tops.

11. Have aircrewmember sit in normal sitting posi-tion, then check to ensure top of waist bladder doesnot extend above the lowest rib. If it does, and can-not be corrected by readjustment of the waist, asmaller size garment may be required.

NOTE

Fitting g-suit on small stature aircrewmem-ber requires careful attention to position ofabdominal and calf bladders. The abdominalbladder must be below the rib cage. The topof the calf bladder must be positioned at theknee crease on the back of the leg. Alter-ations of the CSU-20/P22P-16 is authori-zed. See paragraph 4-22.

12. Have aircrewmember stand and lift leg onto aplatform (arm of a chair or something of similarheight - approximately 25 inches) and check mobility.If the garment is too tight to permit this movement,adjust the lacings, or try a larger garment size.

13. Tie lacing ends in double half-hitch knot whencompleted (as in step 7 above).

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

4-109. LEAK TEST OF CSU-20/P22P-16 ANTI-gGARMENT. The leak test shall be performed usingtest fixture described in Section 4-3. Leak test isperformed as folllows:

1. Close leak test fixture valve and attach quickdisconnect fitting on garment hose to female fittingon leak test fixture.

2. Rotate three-way valve to air source and inflatebladder to 3 psig. Rotate to measuring device tocheck pressure.

3. The bladder pressure shall not drop more than1.0 psig in the first 60 seconds. A pressure dropgreater than 1.0 psig in 60 seconds constitutes testfailure.

NOTE

When the leak test fixture is removed fromthe garment, the bladder may deflate. Thisis normal. The quick disconnect fitting onthe garment hose is equipped with an emer-gency pressure valve. This allows deflationof the bladder to 1.5 psig within 4 secondsupon disconnect from the air source. Thegarment will then maintain internal pressure.

If feasible, failed units should be returnedfor analysis to:

CHAPTER 5

ANTI-EXPOSURE ASSEMBLIES


5-1. GENERAL.

5-2. This chapter covers constant wear and quickdonning anti-exposure assemblies. Anti-exposure as-semblies are designed to protect the aircrewmemberor passengers from exposure to cold water conditionsin the event of immersion. The constant wear assem-blies provide additional protection from cold weather.

NOTE

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR-SYSCOM) has issued messages entitled,Cold Weather Protective Clothing, whichauthorize procurement and use of items ofsupplemental cold weather clothing confi-gurations. These messages identify accept-able items which provide cold weatherprotection, their procurement sources, andinformat ion for procurement and use.These items are known as Non-Develop-mental Items (NDI) which meet or exceedNavy performance requirements when wornwith items of clothing currently authorizedfor use.

NDI items procured under authority of coldweather protect ive clothing messagesshould be maintained and cared for in ac-cordance with manufacturer’s instructionsaccompanying the item.

5-3. CONFIGURATION.

5-4. CONSTANT WEAR ASSEMBLIES . Theconstant wear assemblies consist of a waterproof out-er garment worn over cold weather underwear. Spe-cific configurations for the various assemblies areoutlined in the applicable section.

5-5. QUICK DONNING ASSEMBLY. The QuickDonning Anti-Exposure Coverall, CWU-60/P, consists

of a waterproof outer garment with attached mittens/gloves, hood, and boots. An inflatable hood is stowedin the pocket of the coverall. In case of an emergen-cy, the CWU-60/P assembly is donned over the flightcoverall, CWU-45/P Extreme Cold Weather Jacketand CWU-18/P Extreme Cold Weather Trousers. TheSurvival/Flotation Vest Assembly shall be worn overthe CWU-60/P coverall and the helmet shall be wornunder the CWU-60/P Hood Assembly.

5-6. PASSENGER ASSEMBLY. There is an assem-bly designed to be worn over a uniform or civilianclothes for passengers of fixed wing and rotary air-craft. All passengers shall don the assembly prior toboarding the aircraft.

5-7. APPLICATION.

5-8. The latest available type continuous wear orquick donning anti-exposure suits, as appropriate,shall be provided for flight personnel and passengersof operational type naval aircraft when in the eventof a mishap there would be a significant risk of waterentry and when any of the following conditions pre-vail:

1. The water temperature is 50_F or below.

2. The outside air temperature (OAT) is 32 _F(wind chill factor corrected) or below.

5-9. If the water temperature is between 50_ and60_F, the commanding officer of the unit concernedmust make an assessment based on search and rescue(SAR) factors as follows:

1. Assess the maximum probable rescue time. Thisshould be a function of mission distance, SAR equip-ment and SAR location.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-2

2. Determine the worst water temperature that willoccur in the mission area during the time period ofthe flight.

3. Using Figure 5-1 determine whether anti-expo-sure suits are required.

4. When water temperature is below 60_F andanti-exposure suits are not required, flight equipmentensemble shall include anti-exposure, aramid, hightemperature-resistant undergarments. The wearing ofdouble layers of these garments can significantly im-prove anti-exposure performance and should be en-couraged.

5-20. MEAFFS OR CWU-27/P FLYER’S SUMMERCOVERALL. The CWU-27/P coverall is a one-piece,unlined garment fabricated from aramid cloth. The cov-erall is used with standard personal equipment and shallbe worn over the CWU-62/P series anti-exposure cover-all. The flyer’s summer coverall is fitted to the aircrew-member and normally corresponds to regular suit size.For sizes and dimensions, refer to Chapter 3.

5-21. SUPPLEMENTARY EQUIPMENT.

5-22. HOOD ASSEMBLY, ANTI-EXPOSURE. Re-fer to Section 3-37 for the HGU-32/P hood.

5-23. MITTENS, ANTI-EXPOSURE. Refer to Sec-tion 3-35 for the HAU-12/P mittens.

5-24. APPLICATION.

5-25. The A/P22P-6 Series Anti-Exposure Apparel As-semblies shall be worn by aircrewmembers for flightoperations in accordance with the climatic and opera-tional requirements established by the NATOPS Gener-al Flight and Operational Instructions Manual OPNA-VINST 3710.7 (Series).

5-26. FUNCTION.

5-27. NORMAL. The A/P22P-6 Series Anti-Expo-sure Apparel Assemblies are intended to provide theaircrewmember with a lightweight coverall assemblythat allows performance of all required flight opera-tions without restricting body movements. The cover-alls are moisture/vapor permeable to prevent exces-sive buildup of body heat.

5-28. EMERGENCY. In the event of immersion inwater the CWU-62/P series coverall fabric will notpermit entry of water, keeping the wearer dry. Allcomponents of the assembly (Table 5-1) must be wornto achieve the greatest level of exposure protection.


5-30. The only modifications to the A/P22P-6 SeriesAnti-Exposure Apparel Assemblies authorized at thistime are increasing leg or arm length of the CWU-62/Pseries coverall if required. Refer to paragraphs 5-87 and5-88.

5-31. SIZING.

5-32. The A/P22P-6 Series Anti-Exposure Apparel As-semblies shall be properly sized to the aircrew-memberbased on the height, weight, and chest measurementsshown in Table 5-3. Determine chest circumference forthe CWU-62/P series coverall by first donning oneCWU-44/P Cold Weather Undershirt. Determine chestcircumference for the CWU-62/P and CWU-62A/P bytaking a tape measurement at nipple height with the

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-11

aircrewmember wearing one CWU-44/P cold weatherundershirt and a liner (CWU-23/P, CWU-72/P, orCWU-81/P as applicable) or two CWU-44/P cold weath-er undershirts.

5-33. The size of SRU-25/P socks (Table 5-5) andCWU-75/P Anti-Exposure socks (Table 5-6) shall begoverned by the size of the flight boot to be used. Forthe SRU-25/P, usually a sock one size smaller than theboot to be used will provide an acceptable fit (forexample, size 8 socks for size 9 boots). For theCWU-75/P, a sock the same size as the boot will berequired. To determine the size socks and boots re-quired, the aircrewmember should don a pair of heavywool socks, then don a pair of SRU-25/P socks orCWU-75/P Anti-Exposure socks corresponding to nor-mal boot size. The socks (SRU-25/P or CWU-75/P)should be in a slightly stretched condition to preventwrinkles or bulk in the boot but should not be fitted tootightly. Verify that the fit of the SRU-25/P or CWU-75/Psocks is correct and comfortable. The aircrewmembershould then don a boot and assure that the fit iscomfortable. If smaller or larger SRU-25/P or CWU-75/Psocks and/or boots are required, refit as necessary.

5-34. FITTING.

5-35. FITTING THE CWU-62/P SERIES COVER-ALL. Neck seals (for CWU-62/P Series coverall) andwrist seals (for CWU-62/P only) may be trimmed atthe initial fitting, but the seals tend to adjust to thewearer after a short period of time. If no excessiveseal restriction exists, and seal fit is acceptable to thea i r c rewmembe r, t he sea l s shou ld be l e f t a s i s-sued. Neck seals shall fit snugly and remain in directcontact with the neck through all normal head move-ments. Wrist seals shall fit tightly enough to preventwater entry, but not tight enough to restrict bloodflow. If seal sizing is required, proceed as follows:

CAUTION

Do not mark coverall material with ball-point pen or lead pencil. Use only tailor’schalk or china marking pencil. Trim neck

seals with extreme caution. A smooth trimline is essential. Excessive trimming couldresult in loose seals that leak and necessi-tate replacement. Avoid nicking seal fab-ric, as this could result in tearing sealwhen donning and doffing, and also couldresult in skin irritation.

1. Neck Seal Trimming. To trim neck seals, pro-ceed as follows:

a. Mark a line around circumference of neckopening. Trimming increments shall not exceed 1/4inch at a time.

b. Carefully cut along this line with a sharp pairof scissors.

2. (CWU-62/P only) Flocked Wrist Seals Trim-ming. To trim flocked wrist seals, proceed as follows:

a. Mark a line around circumference of wristopening. Trimming increments shall not exceed 1/8inch at a time.

b. Carefully cut along this line with a sharp pairof scissors.

3. Latex Wrist Seals. There are two types of latexwrist seals.

a. The f i r s t t ype i s l i s t ed in Table 5-9 andcomes in various sizes. It is shaped such that trim-ming would have no effect on the fitting of the wristseal. Trimming is therefore not authorized.

b. The second type of wrist seal is a trimmablewrist seal . The wrist seal has t r im l ines spacedapproximately 3/16 inch apart around the top circum-ference of the seal. To trim the wrist seal, proceedas follows:

(1) Starting at the top trim line, carefully cutalong line with a sharp pair of scissors.

(2) Check fit. If not correct, continue trim-ming down one line at a time until fit is correct.

4. After trimming seals, have aircrewmember doncoverall to determine seal restriction and water-seal-ing characteristics. Make any adjustments in accor-dance with steps 1 through 3.

CWU-75/P socks will replace SRU-25/Psocks by attrition.

Socks may be replaced individually andneed not be replaced as a pair.

1. Have aircrewmember don the A/P22P-6 Seriesassembly (except hood, mittens, and CWU-27/P), the

appropriate PCU Series torso harness, if applicable,and proper size heavy wool socks.

2. Mark coverall legs and socks (L and R) oninside and front and back to ensure socks are matchedto correct leg during installation.

3. Have aircrewmember sit in a straight-back chairwith legs drawn back, heels directly below kneecapsand feet flat on floor.

NOTE

If aircrewmember’s leg length is such thatallowances provided in steps 4 through 7(2-inch sock fold and 1-inch allowance be-yond inseam mark) are not possible, referto paragraph 5-87 for coverall leg extend-ing instructions.

Removing top 2 inches of sock at initialinstallation is intended to ensure adequatecoverall leg material remains for futuresock replacements.

Ensure not to cut coverall too short.

4. Turn top 2 inches of sock down, forming atemporary cuff. Mark the circumference of coveralllegs where they meet top of folded socks.

Step 7 - Para 5-36

8. Turn coverall inside out.

NOTE

Due to slight differences in circumferenceof coverall leg and sock opening, it is rec-ommended that alignment marks be addedto both items before sewing. Make marksat front , back and both sides, equal lyspaced around circumference of both open-ings. It may be necessary to manually in-duce an uneven feeding of materials intosewing machine in order to compensate fordifferences in sock and coverall leg cir-cumferences, thereby minimizing pleats orpuckers.

9. Lay coverall out flat, face up.

NOTE

When attaching socks to coveralls, ensureright sock is on right coverall leg and leftsock is on left coverall leg.

10. Insert sock into leg opening, so that right sidesof sock and coverall leg are facing each other, andtoe is pointing up (toward front).

5-45. Repair and replacement funct ions for theCWU-62/P series coverall will be accomplished at theintermediate maintenance level or above.

NOTE

Authorization is granted at organizationallevel to stitch wrist and neck seals andsocks onto the CWU-62/P series coveralls,provided heat sealing and water tests areperformed at the intermediate level.

Quality Assurance Representative (QA)points are included in inspection, repair,and replacement procedures. When a pro-cedure is underlined, there is a QA re-quirement. After performing procedure,stop and have Quality Assurance Represen-tative ensure that step has been performedcorrectly.

5-46. MAINTENANCE DOCUMENTS. Documentsused to record history and maintenance informationconsist of those documents described in chapter 2 ofthis manual and the CWU-62/P series coverall damagechart (Figure 5-9, Figure 5-10, and Figure 5-11). Thedamage chart is also intended to aid the organizationallevel custodians of the coverall in describing otherneeded repairs to the intermediate level technicians. Itshall be used by the intermediate level personnel as anaid during inspections. All maintenance actions and in-spections shall be documented in accordance withCOMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2.

5-47. SERVICE LIFE CHECK. The service life isthe time period during which the anti-exposure cover-all can be maintained in service without replacement.The service life for the anti-exposure coverall is 12years, computed from the date of manufacture. Whenthe anti-exposure coveralls lack a legible date ofmanufacture (DOM) and a service life check cannot

be verified, the applicable coverall shall be consid-ered non-RFI and removed from service. If the DOMcan be established via records maintained on the cov-erall, the DOM shall be stenciled in permanent mark-er on the coverall and shall be considered the DOMfor the purpose of service life check. Unless other-wise noted the anti-exposure coverall service lifeshall start on the first date of the month of the dateof manufacture and expire on the last day of thatmonth.

NOTE

If the contract number is legible on a cov-erall without a legible DOM, the contractnumber can be used to establish a DOM.For example, a coverall with a contractnumber of SPO100-98-D-4018 was builtsometime after the year 1998 as the con-tract was awarded in 1998. Thus the DOMfor this particular coverall with no legibleDOM, bu t a l eg ib l e con t ra c t numbe rSPO100-98-D-4018 could safely be estab-lished as JAN 1999.

1. Check markings for completeness, legibility andagreement with assembly records. If manufacturerstag becomes worn, loose or torn, stencil DOM on theinside of the coverall, near the entrance slide fastener,where the manufacturers label would/should normallybe located.

2. Check the date of manufacture to ensure thatthe anti-exposure coverall is not beyond its estab-lished 12-year service life. The date of manufacturetag is located on the inside of the suit near theentrance slide fastener. The anti-exposure coverallshall be replaced if service life expires prior to thenext inspection cycle, unless the next inspection cycleis shortened to comply with the service life expirationdate. When the coverall reaches the service lifelimit, it shall be returned to supply for disposition.

5-53. 360-DAY SPECIAL INSPECTION . The360-Day Inspection shall be performed at the inter-mediate level on all A/P22P-6 Series assemblies priorto placing in service and every 360 days thereaf-ter. To perform the 360-Day Inspection, proceed asfollows:

1. Perform all steps of 180-Day Inspection in ac-cordance with paragraph 5-52.

2. Perform water test or air test on the CWU-62/Pseries coveralls in accordance with paragraph 5-55 or5-57.

3. Repair assembly if required in accordance withparagraph 5-61.


5-54. I -LEVEL AIR AND WATER LEAK TESTSUMMARIZATION AND SCREENING PROCEDU-RES. Procedures for the leakage test have been mod-ified for the 62/P series coveralls. Previously, theWater Test Device was used exclusively for testingand locating leaks in the coveralls. In order to make

testing and repair easier and to provide leakage test-ing at sea, the procedure is now to use the Air LeakTest Fixture (see paragraph 5-55) to test for leaksfirst and possibly bypassing the water leak test alto-gether. The following are general guidelines to followwhen screening for leaks. Keep in mind that the ob-ject here is to test for, isolate and repair leaks. Facili-ties without an air test fixture should contact theirTYCOM to obtain one.

1. All coveralls should be leak tested with the airtest fixture first in accordance with paragraph 5-55.If the coveralls pass the air leak test, then the cover-alls are RFI and there is no need for further leaktesting.

a. Shore Based Leak Test Screening:

(1) If coveralls fail the air leak test, and the loca-tion of the leaks cannot be immediately determined by feel-ing for escaping air or by detecting bubbles with the use ofa soapy solution then the location of the leak or leaks shallbe isolated with the Water Test Device in accordance withparagraph 5-56.

(2) Once repairs have been completed the repairsshall be verified with either the Air Leak Test Fixture or theWater Test Device. Continue leakage isolation and repairprocess until coveralls pass either the air or water leakagetest and are deemed RFI.

b. Deployed Units Leak Test Screening:

(1) If coveralls fail the air leak testing an attemptshall be made to identify the location of the leak or leaks byfeeling for escaping air or detecting bubbles by using a soapysolution to isolate the leaks. If location of leaks can be deter-mined, the coveralls shall be repaired and the repairs verifiedwith the Air Leak Test Fixture. Continue this process untileither the coverall passes the Air Leak Test and can be re-turned as RFI or it is determined that the locations of theleaks cannot be locatedwithout use of theWater TestDevice.

(2) Coveralls that fail the Air Leak Test and can-not be repaired shall be forwarded to a shore-based I-Levelfor testing of the location of the leak(s) by the Water TestDevice.

1. Prepare soapy solution by mixing 1/2-ouncedishwashing liquid to 16 oz of water in spray bottle.Shake contents until foam appears in spray bottle. Alarge sponge dipped into a basin of soapy water (1/2oz to one gallon of water) can also be used as amethod of finding leaks.

2. Lubricate main body and convenience slide fas-teners with zipper ease. Turn coverall inside out.Close all slide fasteners and ensure sliders are tightagainst top stops. Close chest fastener tight againsttop stop by reaching through the neck seal.

3. Loosen the locking nut of the test fixture assem-bly so that the upper plate can be raised approximate-ly 3 inches above the lower plate.

4. Place the test fixture inside the coverall at thecenter of the neck seal opening, so the lower platerests on the inside back of coverall.

Step 4 - Para 5-55

5. Sandwich the latex neck seal between the upperand lower plates. Avoid creasing or pleating the latex.

6. Tighten the locking nut finger-tight to compressthe neck seal flat between the upper and lower plates.Tighten with a wrench 1/2 turn more.

Step 6 - Para 5-55

7. Fold wrist seals twice, and clamp with wristseal clamps.

Step 7 - Para 5-55

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-25

Step 7a - Para 5-55

CAUTION

Ensure pointer on 3-way valve is pointingtoward gage when connecting air source.

NOTE

It is recommended that the coverall befilled and deflated three times to allow theair temperature inside the coverall to stabi-lize. The air temperature will be cold com-ing out of the compressor and will give afalse negative reading (a pressure loss) un-til it comes to room temperature.

8. Connect a dry, filtered, clean low-pressure airsource to the test fixture at the male quick disconnectfitting. Slowly rotate the black pointer on the 3-wayvalve toward the air inlet and slowly inflate the cov-eralls to 7.5 inches of water. If you go beyond the7.5 inches of water pressure rotate the black pointerto the bleed hole in the 3-way valve to bleed exces-sive pressure down to 7.5 inches of water. Leavepointer facing gage and observe gage for pressuredrop. If gage pressure has dropped, ensure the nut onthe top plate is secure and not leaking and the wristseal clamps are secure and not leaking. If pressurecontinues to drop, apply soapy solution around theouter edge of the upper plate assembly and the latexneck seal. If bubbles form, indicating that a leak ispresent, deflate coverall and repeat steps 5 through8. If all clamps are secure and not leaking but thecoverall cannot be stabilized at 7.5 inches of water

then there is probably a catastrophic leak in the cov-eralls; the leak needs to be identified and repairedbefore proceeding with the air test; proceed to step10. If water pressure is stabilized; proceed to step 9.

9. When confident that a good seal between testfixture and suit is made, and that pressure has beenstabilized at 7.5 inches of water pressure, turn offairflow to the coverall by turning the black pointeron 3-way valve towards gage. Leave coverall at pres-sure for 5 minutes. If pressure drop is less than 1inch of water pressure after the 5 minute test periodthe suit is RFI; continue to step 17. If pressure dropis greater than 1 inch of water continue to step 10.

10. If pressure reading drops more than 1 inch ofwater pressure during the 5 minute test period, visuallyinspect the coverall for the damaged area. Should thedamaged area not be detected, re-inflate the coverallwith a continuous airflow pressure of 7.5 inches ofwater pressure.

NOTE

When step 10 states that if pressure dropis indicated set coverall aside for isolationof leaks by water test it is not implyingthat obvious and easily detected leaksfound during the air leak test cannot firstbe repaired in accordance with the ap-propriate repair sections and the coverallair tested again. Step 10 is simply attempt-ing to avoid wasting valuable time and ef-fort trying to locate a pin sized leak withthe soapy solution.

11. Using the palm of your hand, cover the com-plete surface of the suit until the damaged area isdetected. Mark damaged area and deflate the suit andrepair in accordance with Paragraph 5-61.

12. If no damage can be detected in Steps 10 or11 then using a sponge cover the suit with a soapywater starting at the neck working your way downto the feet ensuring that the front of the suit is com-pletely covered.

CAUTION

Do not leave suit inflated and covered insoap solution for longer than 5 minutes.

13. Check complete front of suit for any leaksusing your waterproof pen, mark any leaks found onthe suit (leaks will show as continuous bubblingforming on the suit surface).

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-26

14. Once all leaks are recorded, dry the suit usinga towel.

15. Turn suit over and repeat test process on theback of the suit.

16. On completion of the test check that all leaksare clearly marked on the suit.

17. Switch off compressor, disconnect air source.rotate pointer toward air inlet and loosen nut to dumppressure. remove air line, wrist clamps and faceplateassembly.

18. Rotate pointer arrow toward gage to returngage reading to zero.

19. If coveralls fail the air leak test and the loca-tion of the leaks cannot be immediately determinedby feeling for escaping air or by detecting bubbleswith the use of a soapy solution then the location ofthe leak or leaks shall be isolated with the water testdevice in accordance with Paragraph 5-56.

20. Allow suit to dry.

21. Repair if required in accordance with Para-graph 5-61.

22. Any suit repaired for leakage must be retestedin accordance with Steps 1 through 24.

23. Verify repairs.

Because of all the different sizes and mod-ifications authorized on the coveralls it isimpractical to try to give accurate mea-surements for the amount of water thateach coverall should hold in order to betested. The concept is to get enough waterin to the coverall to have the water press-ing hard enough against the fabric andseams to uncover any flaws in the materialthat would cause the coverall to fail it’sfunction; that of keeping an aircrewmem-ber alive until rescue personnel can locatethem.

14. While the inspection platform is in the hori-zontal position (front of coverall facing upwards),inspect back of the coverall (underside) for leaks,including areas under the thigh and ankle securingfastener tapes by temporarily loosening the hook andpile closures. Where water appears on coverall sur-face, blot area dry with an absorbent material (papertowel, etc.). If one (1) drop of water falls from theunderside of the coveralls in 10 seconds or less, thecoverall shall be repaired. Mark suspect area forpatching using only china marking pencil or tailor’schalk.

NOTE

All four sides of the coverall will be in-spected in steps 14 through 17. Alwayspush the platform up and away from you,

45_ at a time so that each of the four stepscompletes the entire coverall.

Step 14 - Para 5-57

15. Rotate the platform 45_ to the vertical posi-tion; lock in place with the platform arm hook. In-spect the portion of the coverall closest to the splashpan. Where water appears on coverall surface, blotarea dry with an absorbent material (paper towel,etc.). If one (1) drop of water falls from the under-side of the coverall in 10 seconds or less, the coverallshall be repaired. Mark suspect area for patching us-ing only china marking pencil or tailor’s chalk.

16. Rotate the platform 45_ to the horizontal posi-tion again so that the front of the suit is at thebottom closest to the splash pan. Inspect the front ofthe coverall and slide fastener box stitching near sealblock for any water leakage. Where water appears oncoverall surface, blot area dry with an absorbent ma-terial (paper towel, etc.). If one (1) drop of waterfalls from the underside of the coverall in 10 secondsor less, the coverall shall be repaired. Mark suspectarea for patching using only china marking pencil ortailor’s chalk.

Step 16 - Para 5-57

17. Rotate the platform 45_ to the vertical andlock inplace with the platform arm hook so that thesleeve with the arm clamp is resting in the bottomof the splash pan. Inspect the final portion of thecoverall closest to the splash pan. Where water ap-pears on coverall surface, blot area dry with an absor-bent material (paper towel, etc.). If one (1) drop ofwater falls from the underside of the coveralls in 10seconds or less, the coverall shall be repaired. Mark

suspect area for patching using only china markingpencil or tailor’s chalk.

Step 17 - Para 5-57

18. To drain the water from the coverall, releasethe platform arm hook and rotate the platform up andpast the horizontal position (this will get as muchpressure off the sleeve opening as possible). Whileholding the platform in position with one hand graspthe sleeve opening firmly closed with other hand havean assistant slowly release the arm clamp. Slowlyallow the sleeve to open and water to drain out intothe splash pan.

NOTE

When the clamp is first released, waterwill gush out of the coveralls and all overthe floor unless the sleeve opening is heldfirmly closed. When the clamp is releasedand opened gradual ly al lowing only asmall amount of water to escape at a time.

Assistance may be required to hold theplatform in place, release the clamp andhold the sleeve closed all at the same time.

19. Slowly rotate the platform downwards as thewater continues to drain from the coverall.

Step 19 - Para 5-57

20. Lock the platform in the vertical position andlet the coverall drain as completely as possible.

Step 20 - Para 5-57

21. Rotate the platform back to the original hori-zontal position and lock in place.

22. Open inspection platform, remove hook andpile tape used to secure thighs and ankles, removeclamps, and drain any remaining water.

23. Open entrance slide fastener and turn coverallright side out.

NOTE

When patching of the coverall is required,d r y i n g o f t h e d e f e c t i v e a r e a o f t h eCWU-62/P can be accomplished by sub-jecting the area to low-pressure air or bya f i v e s e c o n d a p p l i c a t i o n o f t h eMIL-S-85634 seam and patch heat sealingmachine.

5-60. STORAGE. To store the anti-exposure cover-alls/assemblies, proceed as follows:

CAUTION

The coveralls should be stored in a cool,dark place as prolonged exposure to thesun’s ultra-violet rays or other sources ofozone will degrade the adhesives and alltypes of rubber. Keep coveralls away fromgasoline, oil and other petroleum productsas they dissolve adhesives.

Do not insert hanger through neck sealopening when preparing coveralls for shortterm storage. Ends of hanger could punc-ture and damage the neck seal . Inserthanger through entry zipper and pushhanger head from below through the neckseal opening.

1. Short-Term Storage. Between flights, coverallshall be hung on a plastic or wooden hanger or foldedin accordance with Figure 5-14, and stored in a cleanand well ventilated protected area.

2. Seasonal Storage. Storage during the warmermonths when anti-exposure protection is not requiredfor flight. Coveralls in Seasonal Storage shall bemaintained on their normal 180/360-day inspectioncycles and do not require a Place-In-Service Inspec-tion upon removal from seasonal storage. Seasonalstorage does not require documentation as “SeasonalStorage”.

3. Long-Term Storage. Coveralls being stored rath-er than being maintained on a 180/360-day inspectioncycle (for whatever reason) shall be considered inLong-Term Storage. A coverall that has gone beyondits 180 or 360-Day Inspection shall be considered outof service and in Long-Term Storage and must bedocumented as such in accordance with COMNAV-AIRFORINST 4790.2. Coveralls being removed fromLong-Term Storage shall have a complete Place-In-Service Inspection completed and documented in ac-cordance with paragraph 5-51.

4. CWU-79/P and CWU-83/P Anti-Exposure suitsthat are kept on the 360-day inspection cycle and putaway during the warmer months are not consideredin Long-Term Storage with regard to inspection crite-ria. Rather the suits are considered in Seasonal Stor-age. There is no requirement to do an additionalPlace-In-Service, 360-Day Inspection on suits being

taken out of seasonal storage as long as the suit hasbeen maintained on the required 360-day inspectioncycle.

NOTE

Although there is no requirement for anti-exposure suits to be inspected at certaintimes of the year, the best maintenancepractice for the suit is to time the cycle ofinspections so that the 360-Day Inspectionis being done as the suit is taken out ofs e a son a l s t o r a g e i n t h e f a l l a n d t h e180-Day Inspection (if required) is beingdone just prior to the suit being placed into seasonal storage in the spring.

5. The mit tens/gloves, hood and liner of theA/P22P-6 Series assemblies shall be placed with thecoveralls during periods of storage. The CWU-43/Pdrawers (or equivalent) and the CWU-44/P (or equiv-alent) shall be retained by the individual aircrewmem-ber and not put into storage.

NOTE

The cotton-flocked wrist seals, used on theCWU-62/P, are no longer being procured.Defective wrist seals may continue to bereplaced with any cotton-flocked sealsavailable locally. However, it is preferableto replace all wrist seals with the newCWU-62/P series coverall latex rubberseals (Table 5-9). Once latex seals havebeen installed, the coverall should be re-designated as CWU-62A/P.

If latex wrist seals are being installed, thenew wrist seals must be cleaned in accor-dance with step 6.

1. Before installing or replacing wrist seals on theCWU-62/P series coverall, inspect each seal in accor-dance with paragraph 5-75.

2. Select correct size wrist seal from Table 5-9.

3. Remove old wrist seals by cutting with scissorsalong the bottom (closest to end of sleeve) stitch line.

4. Remove old seam tape from coverall sleeve bypeeling the tape off (CWU-62A/P only).

5. Make four alignment marks equally spacedaround circumference of both wrist seal and coverallsleeve opening.

NOTE

When attaching correct size wrist seal toarm opening of CWU-62/P series coverall,the dull side of seal should face toward theinside (next to the skin) and the shiny sideshould face out.

NOTE

Circumference of wrist seal and sleeve open-ing may not be the same. When sewingwrist seal to coverall, it may be necessaryto manually induce an uneven feeding ofmaterial to avoid pleats or puckers in seam.Pleats and puckers are not acceptable.

9. While ensuring cut edges are kept even, sew onerow of stitches (5 to 7 stitches per inch) around circum-ference of opening. Overlap stitching 1 inch. Do notbackstitch. Make stitches 1/4 inch from cut edges.

NOTE

If aircrewmember’s arm length is such thatproper location of the wrist seals is notpossible or too much fabric has been re-moved in previous wrist seal replacements,refer to paragraph 5-88 for instructions forincreasing sleeve length.

10. Prior to pulling wrist seal out of sleeve, trimloose ends 1/4 inch from sewn seam.

a. Pull wrist seal out of sleeve and insert asleeve stiffener (plastic cup/cardboard tube locallymanufactured) into sleeve to hold the sleeve end andwrist seal firmly in place.

b. Using emery paper (sandpaper), lightly scuffthe surface of the wrist seal one inch from the seam.

c. Clean scuffed wrist seal with methyl ethylketone (MEK) and allow to dry for a minimum offive minutes.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

11. Measure from the sewn edge toward the wristseal outer edge one inch and mark circumference ofthe wrist seal using a grease pencil.

NOTE

Seam tape will not adhere properly to latexwrist seal without adhesive.

Do not use an accelerator (catalyst) withthis adhesive.

Ensure the adhesive is not overage.

12. (CWU-62 Series) Apply adhesive to latex wristseal as follows:

NOTE

Do not use masking tape to outline theone-inch mark. The polyurethane adhesivewill stick to the masking tape and makeclean removal of the masking tape impos-sible.

a. Apply a liberal coat of adhesive to the wristseal surface between the trimmed edge and the greasepencil mark applied in step 11.

b. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for adhesive to dry,then apply a second liberal coat of adhesive to thewrist seal surface between the trimmed edge and thegrease pencil mark applied in step 11.

NOTE

Application of heat seal tape (step 14) istime sensitive to step 12c.

c. Allow 15 minutes for second coat of adhesiveto dry, then swab adhesive surface of latex wrist sealwith a cloth dampened with MEK or acetone. Notetime of completion.

NOTE

To achieve optimum tack, allow excesssolvent to “flash off” for 15 to 30 seconds.

d. When aggressively tacky, fold sewn wristseal section toward the wrist seal outer edge, joiningthe sewn edge of the wrist seal to the wrist seal bya single fold.

e. Using a hand roller, remove any folds orpleats from the wrist seam adhesive area to ensure asmooth finish.

13. Turn on the heat seal machine and adjust tem-perature on the heat seal platen to 300_F. Allow tenminutes for temperature to stabilize.

WARNING

Extended exposure to heat degrades adhe-sive.

NOTE

Both 1 1/2-inch and 7/8-inch heat seal tapeare acceptable for heat sealing the wristseal, however, the 1 1/2-inch tape is pre-ferred. Only one layer of tape is to beused when sealing the seam regardless oftape size used.

14. One hour after completion of step 12c above,apply heat seal tape with the heat sealer machinetemperature set at 300_F for a duration of 20 secondsper heat sealed section.

a. After heat platen is lifted from the fabricsurface, press the fabric surface with the hand rolleruntil surface temperature is approximately 100_F orbody temperature.

5-77. O-LEVEL PROCEDURES FOR INITIAL FIT-TING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE LATEX ORFLOCKED WRIST SEAL WITH THE WRIST SEALUNIT. The aramid fabric panel of the wrist seal unitallows attachment to the coverall sleeve by sewing andheat seam taping aramid cloth to aramid cloth therebyeliminating the need to use adhesives in replacement ofwrist seals. The wrist seals units are dual manufactured,i.e. they are constructed of a flame resistant aramid fabricpanel and a neoprene cone-shaped gasket. Together theneoprene cone-shaped gasket and the aramid fabric panelare referred to as the wrist seal unit (Figure 5-16). Thewrist seal units are manufactured so that each wrist sealunit can be attached to either the right or left sleeve;there are no left and right sleeve wrist seal units, just one

wrist seal unit that fits either left or right sleeve(Figure 5-17). The wrist seal unit can be used on any ofthe CWU-62/P series coveralls and the CWU-74/P seriescoveralls to replace a damaged latex/flocked wrist seal.

NOTE

The neoprene wrist seal gasket on the newwrist seal unit can be fit to the aircrew-member either before or after attachmentof the new wrist seal unit to the coverall.

5-78. Sizing/Fitt ing of the Wrist Seal Unitto the Aircrewmember. Wrist seals are one-size-fits-all, trim-to-fit. The neoprene gasket end of the wrist sealopening must be trimmed, 1/4 inch at a time, until anacceptable fit has been achieved. An acceptable fit iswhen the seal creates a watertight barrier around the wristthrough complete range of motion of the hand about thewrist, without restricting blood flow to the hand, i.e., nottoo tight. If wrist seal sizing is required, proceed as fol-lows:

NOTE

The neoprene wrist seal gasket is very nar-row when manufactured in order to accom-modate very small writs sizes. It may notbe possible for the aircrewmember to donuntil some initial trimming is done in ac-cordance with step 2.

1. Have aircrewmember don the wrist seal unit, ifpossible, and observe the overall fit of the neoprenegasket of the wrist seal unit on the aircrewmember’swrist. Have the aircrewmember doff the wrist seal unitand if the neoprene wrist seal gasket is too tight trimthe wrist seal 1/4 inch at a time. The best techniqueis to cut in one motion and avoid repeated smallsnips. Trimming increments shall not exceed 1/4 inchat a time.

2. After trimming wrist seal, have aircrewmemberdon wrist seal unit and determine seal restriction andwater-sealing characteristics. Make any adjustments inaccordance with step 1 until the neoprene wrist sealgasket fits the aircrewmember.

5-79. Removal and Replacement of the Latexor Flocked Wrist Seal. To replace a damaged wristseal with the wrist seal unit proceed as follows:

1. Turn coveralls inside out and lay coveralls ona flat surface, face up. Smooth and flatten the cover-all sleeve of the damaged wrist seal as much as pos-sible.

Step 1 - Para 5-79

CAUTION

The neoprene gasket wrist seal on the wristseal unit will normally be longer than thela tex wrist seal being replaced and ifmatched from the opening ends of the la-tex and neoprene would result in excessmaterial being removed from the sleeve ofthe coverall. Match the wrist seal seam onthe coverall to the seam on the wrist sealunit during the measuring and cutting ofthe coverall sleeve.

2. Lay the new wrist seal unit directly on top ofthe coverall sleeve needing a new wrist seal. Ensurethat the wrist seal seam of the coverall is directlyunderneath and aligned with the neoprene gasket/fab-ric panel seam of the new wrist seal unit.

Step 2 - Para 5-79

3. Using a china marker or chalk draw a line di-rectly on the coverall sleeve along top edge of thenew wrist seal unit. This first line is the referenceline and is used to measure for the coverall sleevecut line drawn in step 4. Remove new wrist seal unitfrom the top of the coverall sleeve and put aside.

Step 3 - Para 5-79

4. Accommodate for seam allowance when sewingthe wrist seal unit to the coverall sleeve by adding 3/4of an inch to the coverall sleeve length before cuttingoff old wrist seal. To do this, use the reference linedrawn in step 3 and measure 3/4 of an inch downfrom the reference line towards the latex/flockedwrist seal. Continue marking 3/4 down from, andparallel to, the reference line across the width of thecoverall sleeve.

Step 4 - Para 5-79

5. Using the marks made in step 4 draw a lineparallel to the reference line on the coverall sleeve.This is the cut line.

Step 5 - Para 5-79

6. Cut sleeve off at the cut line, through both thetop and bottom layers of the sleeve. Discard old wristseal and excess coverall sleeve.

Step 6 - Para 5-79

Step 6a - Para 5-79

7. Slide the new wrist seal unit up into the nowshortened sleeve of the coverall (neoprene wrist sealgasket first) so that right sides are together and rawedge circumference of the sleeve and wrist seal unit

CAUTION


8. Due to slight differences in circumference ofcoverall sleeve and wrist seal unit openings, alignmentmarks shall be added to both items before sewing.Make marks at front, back and both sides, equallyspaced around circumference of both openings. It maybe necessary to manually induce an uneven feedingof materials into sewing machine in order to compen-sate for differences in sleeve and wrist seal unit open-

ing circumferences, thereby minimizing pleats orpuckers.

Step 8 - Para 5-79

9. Beginning at the front of the sleeve, with sleeveand wrist seal unit alignment marks matched, attachwrist seal unit with one row of stitches, 3/8 inch fromcut edges, 5 to 7 stitches per inch using nylon, sizeE thread. Overlap stitching 1/2 inch. Do not back-stitch.

Step 9 - Para 5-79

10. After removing suit from sewing machine, pullwrist seal unit out through the sleeve opening, expos-ing cut edges of seam. Ensure the seams are togetherbut offset slightly and that the stitching is 3/8 inchfrom the edge.

2. The cotton-flocked neck seals, used on theCWU-62/P, are no longer being procured.Defective neck seals may continue to bereplaced with any cotton-flocked sealsavailable locally. However, it is preferableto replace all neck seals with the new latexrubber seal. Once the latex seal has beeninstalled, the coverall should be redesig-nated as CWU-62A/P, CWU-62B/P, orCWU-62C/P as applicable.

3. Activities than cannot obtain UR-1092Polyurethane adhesive via GSA/normalsupply channels can order it via Michael C.Dilts, Vice President, Switlik ParachuteCo., Inc., 1325 East State Street,PO Box1328, Trenton, NJ 08607-1328(609)0587-3300; fax (609)586-6647.

1. Before installing or replacing neck seal on theCWU-62/P Series coverall inspect each seal in accor-dance with paragraph 5-75.

NOTE

The neck seal will be difficult to lay flatdue to the fact that the seal is molded intoa bellow shape. If cracks or deteriorationare identified discard seal. Neck seal shallbe used only after passing inspection re-gardless of expiration date on package.

2. Remove as much as possible of seam tape cover-ing neck seal to coverall seam by peeling the tape off.

When attaching correctsize neck seal to neck opening of coverall,the dull side of seal shall face toward theinside (next to the skin) and the shiny sideshould face out. It may be necessary tomanually induce an uneven feeding of ma-terials into sewing machine in order tocompensate for differences in seal and cov-erall opening circumferences, thereby elim-inating pleats and puckers in the material.Pleats and puckers are not acceptable.

6. Turn coverall inside out.

NOTE

Refer to latest revision of ASTM-D-6193for seam types.

7. A t t a c h s e a l , u s i n g s e a m t y p e L S q - 2(Figure 5-20). First row of stitches shall be placed3/8 inch from cut edge of fabric. Nomex thread issuggested due to the needle heating up as it passesthrough the rubber causing nylon threads to brea-k. Otherwise the needle will need to be cooled whilesewing.

8. After folding coverall fabric back sharply overstitching, a second row of stitches shall be placed 1/4inch from fold line.

9. Using emery paper (sandpaper), lightly scuff thesurface of the neck seal one inch from the seam.

10. Clean surface of latex neck seal with MEK.

11. Measure from the sewn edge toward the neckseal outer edge one inch and mark circumference ofthe neck seal using a grease pencil.

NOTE

Do not use masking tape to outline theone - i nch a rea of t he neck sea l t o bescuffed. The polyurethane adhesive willstick to the masking tape and make cleanremoval of the masking tape impossible.

a. Apply a liberal coat of adhesive to the neckseal surface between the trimmed edge and the greasepencil mark applied in step 11.

b. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for adhesive to dry,then apply a second liberal coat of adhesive to theneck seal surface between the trimmed edge and thegrease pencil mark applied in step 11.

NOTE

Application of seam tape (step 13) is timesensitive to step 12c.

c. Allow 15 minutes for second coat of adhesiveto dry, then swab adhesive surface of latex neck seal

with a cloth dampened with MEK. Note time ofcompletion.

NOTE

To achieve optimum tack, allow excesssolvent to “flash off” for 15 to 30 seconds.

d. When aggressively tacky, fold sewn neck sealsection toward the neck seal outer edge, joining thesewn edge of the neck seal to the neck seal by asingle fold.

e. Using a hand roller, remove any folds orpleats from the neck seam adhesive area to ensure asmooth finish.

NOTE

Do not begin next step until one hour haselapsed since completion of step 12c.

13. Apply seam tape to inside of seam. If 7/8-inchseam tape is used, two layers of seam tape shall beapplied in order that stitching and cut edges of materialare overlapped a minimum of 1/4 inch (Figure 5-20).Overlap ends of seam tape 1 inch.

5-84. O-LEVEL PROCEDURES FOR INITIALFITTING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE NECKSEAL WITH THE NECK SEAL UNIT. The aramidfabric panel of the neck seal unit allows attachment tothe coverall neck by sewing and heat seam taping ara-mid cloth to aramid cloth thereby eliminating the needto use adhesives in the replacement of neck seals. Theneck seals units are dual manufactured, i.e. they areconstructed of a flame resistant aramid fabric panel anda latex bellows-shaped gasket. Together the latex bel-lows-shaped gasket and the aramid fabric panel arereferred to as the neck seal unit (Figure 5-21). The neckseal unit can be used on any of the CWU-62/P seriescoveralls and the CWU-74/P series coveralls to replacea damaged latex neck seal. The latex neck seals aretrim-to-fit and must be trimmed to the individual air-crewmember. Initial fitting and replacement of a dam-aged neck seal using the neck seal unit shall be accom-plished as outlined below.

The bellows-shaped latex neck seal gasketon the new neck seal unit can be fit to theaircrewmember either before or after at-tachment of the new neck seal unit to thecoverall.

5-85. Sizing/Fitt ing of the Neck Seal Unitto the Ai rcrewmember. Neck sea l s may betrimmed at the initial fitting. If no excessive sealrestriction exists, and seal fit is acceptable to theaircrewmember, then do not trim the seal. Neck sealsshall fit snugly and remain in direct contact with theneck through all normal head movements. Neck sealsare manufactured with the trim lines spaced 1/4 inchapart pre-molded into the latex rubber of the neckseal.

CAUTION

Excessive trimming could result in looseseals that leak and necessitate replacement.Trim neck seal with extreme caution; asmooth trim line is essential. Avoid nick-ing latex, as this will result in tearing theseal when donning and doffing.

Figure 5-21. Detail of Where the Neck SealShould Fit on the Aircrewmember

1. Have aircrewmember don the new neck sealunit and observe the overall fit of the latex neck sealgasket of the neck seal unit on the aircrewmember’sneck. Have the aircrewmember doff the neck seal unitand if the latex neck seal gasket was too tight, trimthe latex neck seal gasket using the pre-molded trimlines on the neck seal using sharp, long bladedshears. Trimming increments shall not exceed onepre-molded trim line at a time.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-67

2. After trimming seal, have aircrewmember donthe neck seal unit to determine seal restriction andwater-sealing characteristics. If neck seal is still tootight continue to trim the neck seal 1/4 inch (or onetrim line) at a time until the neck seal fits the air-crewmember.

3. Verify fitting.


CAUTION

Do not attempt the removal and replace-ment of the latex bellows shaped neck sealwith the neck seal unit unless you have anew latex neck seal on hand to use as atemplate for marking the sewing line onthe neck seal unit. Latex neck seal (P/N1725AS102-4, NIIN 8475-01-312-3143)can be obtained via normal supply chan-nels. Although the latex neck seal to beused as the template is a one size fit totrim be aware that each neck seal can betrimmed to fit the neck opening of 4 dif-ferent size groups coveralls. Ensure thatthe template you use has been trimmed tofit the size coverall that needs a new neckseal unit, see Table 5-10. The best practiceis to have 4 new latex neck seals, onetrimmed to each of the 4 size groups listedin Table 5-10 and mark it as the permanenttemplate for neck seal replacement.

5-86. Removal and Replacement of the Latexor Flocked or Neck Seal Unit with a New NeckSeal Unit. To replace a damaged neck seal with anew neck seal unit proceed as follows:

NOTE

After removal of the neck seal the rawedges of the coverall neckline opening willbe exposed. The size and shape of theneckline opening in the coverall and thesize and shape of the replacement neckseal unit are different dimensions and caremust be taken to mark the new neck seal

unit using a template (new latex bellowsshaped neck seal) prior to attaching theneck seal unit to the coverall necklineopening.

1. Turn coveralls inside out and lay coveralls ona flat surface, face up. OTS-600 coveralls are notturned inside out.

CAUTION


2. Remove old seam tape from latex neck seal/coverall fabric by softening adhesive with heat sealeror heat gun and peeling tape gently away from thecoverall.

3. Remove old neck seal by cutting and removingthe attachment seam stitches with sharp, long bladedshears, being careful not to damage the coverall fab-ric.

Step 3 - Para 5-86

4. To aid in aligning the neck seal unit to thecoverall neck seal opening during placement and sew-ing, draw alignment marks on the coverall necklineopening at the center front, center back center right(right shoulder seam) and center left (left shoulderseam).

CAUTION

Ensure latex neck seal template used is thecorrectly trimmed neck seal. To ensure thecorrect size see Table 5-10 and comparesuit size to neck seal pre-molded trim size.Failure to obtain the correct size templatewill result in an ill-fitted coverall that willhave to be redone.

NOTE

The shape of unattached latex neck sealsis manufactured so that the back of thelatex neck seal is wider than the front.When laying the latex neck seal templateonto the neck seal unit that the front andback of the seal are aligned correctly.

7. L a y t h e t em p l a t e ( l a t e x n e c k s e a l P / N1725AS102-4) directly on top of the neck seal unit,matching, as closely as possible the 4 pre-moldedalignment marks on the latex neck seal to the 4 alig-nment marks on the neck seal unit. The elongatedends of the neck seal are aligned at the left and rightwith the shoulder seams and the front and back centermarks are matched as closely as possible. Using thelatex neck seal as the template draw around the cir-cumference of the template directly on to the neckseal unit. Remove the template and put aside.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

NOTE

The neck seal unit will be impossible tolay flat due to the fact that the aramidfabric on the neck seal unit is shaped andtapered to fit the circumference of theneck seal opening. When performing thisstep manipulate the neck seal unit and thetemplate as well as you can in order to geta clean reference line for sewing the neckseal unit to the coveralls.

Step 7 - Para 5-86

NOTE

Circumference of neck seal and neck open-ing may not be the same. When sewingthe neck seal to the coverall, it may benecessary to stretch the curves of the neckseal fabric slightly to avoid pleats andpuckers in the seam. Pleats and puckerswill result in leaks.

8. Place neck seal unit inside the neck seal open-ing (right sides together) so that the 4 alignmentmarks are matched; front, back, left and right. Start-ing at one of the alignment marks sew neck seal unitto coverall neck opening along the sewing line drawnin step 7 (line drawn in step 7 should be just visibleat the raw edge of the coverall opening).

6. Have aircrewmember doff coverall and sleeves.

7. Measure circumference of cut edge of sleeveand add 3/4 inch to this measurement for seamallowance. This measurement is second dimensionused in cutting material for extension.

8. Cut a rectangular piece of fabric using dimen-sions arrived at in steps 5 and 7. The step 5 measure-ment (sleeve length) shall be marked off parallel withselvage edge or wrap thread direction of fabric. Thestep 7 measurement (sleeve circumference) shall bemarked off in fill thread direction or perpendicularto selvage edge. This will ensure sleeve extensionthread direction will coincide with coverall sleeveconstruction.


10. Attach extension to bottom half of sleeve with2 rows of stitching, (LSq-2 seam) as shown. Placesleeve extension construction seam adjacent to, butnot directly over sleeve underarm. Make first row ofstitches 1/4 inch from cut edges, and top stitching 1/4inch from folded seam. Stitching shall be 5 to 7stitches per inch.

5-89. REPAIR OF CWU-62/P, CWU-79/P ANDARSD/MSD SERIES COVERALLS. Authorizedpatching shall be limited to the following:

NOTE

Total patched area shall not exceed 180square inches.

5-90. Definitions. The following definitions shallbe used throughout this section to identify the variousfunctions being performed.

NOTE

All patches shall be cut one inch largerthan area to be patched and shall be sewnto the inside of the coverall (white side)with the green side of the patch facing out.

All edges and stitching shall be seam tapedon the inside of the coverall.

1. Beyond Economical Repair (BER): That pointat which a coverall would cost more to repair it thanit would cost to replace it with a new coverall. Thisusually occurs when the coverall is reaching the endof its serviceable life but can also happen to newercoveralls that have been extensively damaged. Deter-mination of BER should take into account the man-hours and materials that will be expended to repairthe coverall. Although wage tables are not availablefor this calculation it is within the scope of the I-lev-el technicians to use their judgement, experience andintuition when deciding how much repair is too much.

2. Patching: repairing a tear, rip, or hole by sew-ing a new piece of fabric or tape along the perimetersof the damage, then heat seal taping those sewnedges.

3. Porous Area: fabric that is visibly intact yet stillleaks. During water test the criteria shall be: If one(1) drop of water falls from the underside of thecoveralls in 10 seconds or less, the coverall shall berepaired. Coverall shall be repaired if during the airtest a soap bubble forms twice in the same spot in10 seconds or less.

4. Reinforcing: repairing a small tear, small rip,small hole or small porous area by heat seal tapealone.

5. Suit Panel: an individual section of the coverall,e.g., each sleeve, leg front, leg back, body (abovecrotch line and below neckline) front, or body back.

6. Original Construction Seam Tape: the originalseam tape that was applied at the manufacturing plantin the construction of the coverall.

5-91. Damage Dimensions. The following arevarious dimensions to be used throughout this sectionwhen determining damage that can and cannot berepaired.

1. Hole: Round damage or puncture; an entire cir-cular or elliptical shape missing from the fabric.

a. Small: Pinhole; less than 1/16 inch diameter.

b. Large: Less than 3 inch diameter.

2. Nick/Gouge/Pit: Damage in neoprene layer of awrist seal.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-74

a. Must be less than 1/2 inch in length.

3. Split/Crack: Linear damage at an edge throughall layers of a wrist or neck seal.


4. Porous Area.

a. Small: Less than 1 inch diameter.

b. La rge : Less t han 7 inche s by 7 inche s .Patches over large porous areas cannot be within oneinch of each other.

5. Rip: Linear damage; a long continuous cut withno other adjoining cuts.

a. Small: Up to 1 inch in length.

b. Large: Less than 10 inches in length.

6. Tear: “L” or “I” shaped damage; a long continu-ous cut with a short connected perpendicular cut atone or both ends.

a. Small: Up to a 1 inch long with 1/2 inchlong cross-wise cut(s).

b. Large: Less than 7 inches in length with 1/2inch long cross-wise cut(s).

5-92. Individual Component Repair Limits. Thefollowing are repair limits for the various componentsof the anti-exposure assembly.

1. Main suit panels:

a. May not have more than one large patched;tear, rip, hole or porous area.

b. May not have more than 25% of any panelarea repaired by reinforcement and/or patching. This25% being a cumulative total of previous and newrep-

airs. This 25% calculation excludes original seam tap-ing and reinforcement.

2. Socks:

c. May be replaced individually or in pairs.

d. Any damage that intersects a seam is notrepairable.

e. Pinholes, small porous areas, small tear,small rip up to 25% area of sock.

3. Seam Tape: Original Construction.

NOTE

Replacement of the original constructionseam tape (and subsequent repaired/re-placed seam tape) shall be at the discretionof the I-level facility doing the repairs.The 15 continuous inches stated belowshall be considered flexible to a certaindegree. The integrity of the coverall is themost important factor in deciding howmuch seam tape to replace. I-level techni-cians must use their experience and intu-ition when deciding how much seam tapeis safe to replace. If the technician feelsthat 15 continuous inches in a certain sec-tion of the coverall is too much to replacefor safety reasons, then don’t replace thetape and condemn the coverall. If on theother hand the technician needs to replace15 and one half inches and feels that it issafe to do so, then replace the tape andreturn the suit RFI.

a. Original Construction Seam Tape: Repaironly 15 continuous inches.

b. Repairs on seam tape attaching componentsto the coverall (e.g. anti-exposure socks) are permissi-ble only if the existing item (attached components)remains intact. If component part is damaged removeseam tape and replace component.

5-100. LINERS. When worn, the liner shall be di-rectly under the CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P coverallsand over the underclothing (Table 5-12). The linerprovides another layer of thermal protection.

5-101. FLYERS’ ANT IEXPOSURE COVER-ALLS. The CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P Flyers’ Anti-Exposure Coveralls are supplied in twelve sizes formen and twenty-four sizes for women, respectively(Table 5-15 and Table 5-16). These coveralls shall notbe worn in direct contact with the skin because 1)skin irritation is known to result from wearing thecoveralls in direct contact with the skin, and 2) longunderwear is always worn between skin and coverallto provide minimum thermal protection. Proper main-tenance is essential to the service life and protectionof this coverall, as well as proper sizing and fitting.The neck seal is made of latex and the wrist seals aremade of neoprene and must be sized to the individualaircrewmember. The entrance and the relief portalslide-fasteners are waterproof to wetting and immer-sion. Neck and wrist seals come attached from themanufacturer however socks must be procured sepa-rately from the coveralls and sized to the individualaircrewmember.

5-102. ANTI-EXPOSURE SOCKS. The anti-expo-sure socks are supplied in eight sizes (Table 5-18).The an t i exposure socks a re o f sewn and t apedconstruction made of waterproof, breathable, wovenfabric. The tops of socks extend above the flightboots to reduce bulk and restriction.

5-103. ANTI-EXPOSURE WRIST SEAL UNITS(NEOPRENE) . The wr i s t se a l un i t s a re dua lmanufactured, i.e. they are constructed of a flameresistant fabric panel and a neoprene cone shapedgasket. The fabric panel allows attachment to thecoverall by sewing and seam taping. The wrist sealunits are trim-to-fit and must be sized to the individu-al aircrewmember. Both pieces of the wrist seal, theneoprene cone-shaped gasket and the fabric panel arereferred to as the wrist seal. The wrist seal itself iscovered by aramid cloth (flight suit material) thatcomes down over the wrist seal so that the visualeffect is that of a flight suit. This aramid cloth sec-

tion of the coverall that covers the wrist seal is re-ferred to as the sleeve cuff.

5-104. A N T I - E X P O S U R E N E C K S E A LUNITS. The neck seal units are dual manufactured,i.e. they are constructed of a flame resistant fabricpanel and a latex bellows shaped gasket. The fabricpanel allows attachment to the coverall by sewingand seam taping. The neck seal units are trim-to-fitand must be sized to the individual aircrewmember.Collectively the two pieces of the neck seal, the latexbellows gasket and the fabric panel, are referred toa s t h e n e c k s e a l . T h e n e c k s e a l u n i t s w i l l b emanufactured in two different configurations; Type Ifor men and Type II for women. The two types ofneck seal units are identical except that the Type IIneck seal has a smaller neck opening to accommodatesmaller neck sizes.

5-105. ANTI-EXPOSURE HEAD WEAR. No hoodcurrently comes with the CWU-86/P or CWU-87/Pcoveralls. An HGU-32/P inflatable hood may be se-lected as an optional item with these coveralls. SeeSection 3-37 and Table 5-11.

5-106. ANTI-EXPOSURE HAND WEAR. Aircrewcan choose to use either the one-size-fits-all NeopreneGloves (NIIN 01-482-1003), or the HAU-12/P Anti-Exposure Mittens (NIIN 8475-01-255-7484) Section3-33 to complete the Anti-Exposure Apparel Assem-bly. Neither the gloves nor the mittens come with theCWU-86/P or CWU-87/P coverall; they must be or-dered separately from the coverall. At a minimum,the aircrewmember must have either the one-size fits-all neoprene gloves or the HAU-12/P when the Rug-gedized anti-exposure coverall is required for flight.However, it is recommended that the aircrewmemberhave both the neoprene glove and the HAU-12/P toproperly insulate the hands and fingers during cold-water immersion. Which ever hand wear is used itshall be installed in the glove pockets provided on theright and left sleeves of the coveralls and both mustbe modified to add hook fastener tape to the tetherline as a means of attaching the hand wear to thecoverall.

5-107. APPL ICAT ION . The CWU-86 / P a ndCWU-87/P Flyers’ Anti-Exposure Coveralls shall beworn by aircrewmembers for flight operations in ac-cordance with the climatic and operational require-ments established by the NATOPS General Flight andOperational Instructions Manual OPNAVINST 3710.7(Series).

5-108. FUNCTION. The CWU-86/P and CWU-87/PFlyers’ Anti-Exposure Coveralls are designed to func-tion like the flight coverall to allow performance ofall required flight operations without restricting bodymovement. The optional anti-exposure gloves, hood,and mittens are not worn during flight but remainstowed in the pockets of the coverall or survival vestfor emergency use.

5-109. EMERGENCY. The complete ensemble pro-vides protection from the thermal effects of cold-wa-ter immersion in the event of emergency over wateraircraft egress. In the event of immersion in water,the seals and fabric of the coveralls will not permitentry of water, keeping the wearer dry and warm.Neoprene gloves help fingers retain warmth duringinitial operation of emergency equipment. Inflatablemittens help the hands retain warmth for extendedperiods of time. The inflatable hood, if worn, canhelp the head retain heat if the cranial or helmet ismissing. All components of the assembly (Table 5-11)must be worn to achieve the greatest level of expo-sure protection.

NOTE

The recommendations in Table 5-12 in therow labeled “Below 50 deg F” have beenverified to provide a maximum of 2 hoursprotection in 45 deg F water temperaturewithout a life raft and/or 32 deg F watertemperature with a life raft.

5-110. MODIFICATIONS. The only modifications tothe CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P Flyers’ Anti-Exposure-Coveralls authorized at this time are increasing ordecreasing leg or sleeve length of the coverall, ifrequired. Refer to paragraphs 5-159, 5-160, 5-161 forinstructions.

5-111. IDENTIFICATION OF THE CWU-86/PAND CWU-87/P COVERALLS. After the socks andseals have been fitted and installed on the CWU-86/Por CWU-87/P coveralls, the coveralls become person-al equipment of the aircrewmember. Use a permanentfelt-tipped laundry marker to mark name and/or otherdesired information on the coverall.

5-112. DONNING.

5-113. To don the anti-exposure Assembly proceed asfollows:

NOTE

The anti-exposure gloves, hood and mittensare not worn during fl ight but remainstowed in the coveralls pockets or survivalvest for emergency use.

CAUTION

To ease donning, talc may be applied tothe neck and wrist seals of the CWU-86/Pand CWU-87/P coveralls, as well as to theneck, wrists and hands of the wearer priorto donning or doffing the coverall. Usecare when donning or doffing.

CAUTION

Sharp objects can damage seal and coverallfabric during donning and doffing. Removewatches, rings, earrings and other sharp in-struments that can puncture or abrade sur-faces.

4. Don underwear/thermal liners, wool socks perrecommendations in Table 5-12.

5. Don the coveralls. Use procedures depicted inFigure 5-26 (CWU-86/P) or Figure 5-27 (CWU-87/P).

6. Push excess air out of the coverall manually bysquatting at the knees, thighs against chest, and thenstretching the neck seal open to vent the excess air.

7. Ensure that anti-exposure hand wear protectionis stowed in coverall pockets, in survival vest, orotherwise on the person.

5-114. DOFFING.

5-115. To doff the CWU-86/P coverall, carefully re-verse the donning procedures, using procedures de-picted in Figure 5-26. To doff the CWU-87/P coverall,use procedures depicted in Figure 5-28.

5-116. MAINTENANCE.

5-117. Repair and replacement functions for theCWU-86/P and CWU-87/P coveralls will be accom-plished at the Organizational Maintenance Level (O-Level) and Intermediate Maintenance Level (I-Level)or above.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-100

NOTE

The applicable SM&R code specifies “Re-pair at I-level”. However, authorization isgranted to O-level to perform sewing op-erations on the CWU-86/P and CWU-87/Pcoveralls, provided heat-sealing and leak-age testing are performed at the I-level.

NOTE

Maintenance inspections for all componentparts are listed in their respective sectionof this manual. Although worn as a com-plete ensemble (e.g. coveralls, hood, mit-tens, underclothing, liner) the maintenanceof each component is covered under itsrespective individual section of this manu-al. Each component of the ensemble shallbe inspected and documented individuallyaccording to the maintenance outline in theappropriate section of this manual.

5-118. Quality Assurance (QA) Representative pointsare included in inspection, repair, and replacementprocedures. When a procedure is underlined, there is aQA requirement. After performing procedure, stop andhave the Quality Assurance Representative ensure thatthe step has been performed correctly.

5-119. MAINTENANCE DOCUMENTS. Documentsused to record history and maintenance informationconsist of those documents described in Chapter 2 ofthis manual and the CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P cover-alls damage chart (see Figure 5-29 and Figure 5-30).The damage chart is intended to aid the organization-al level custodians of the coveralls in describing otherneeded repairs to the I-Level technicians. The damagechart shall be used by the I-Level personnel as an aidduring inspections and shall accompany the coverallduring the life of the coverall. All maintenance ac-tions and inspections shall be documented in accor-dance with COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2.

5-120. SERVICE LIFE CHECK. The service life isthe time period during which the Anti-exposure cov-erall can be maintained in service without replace-ment. The service life for the anti-exposure coverallis 12 years, computed from the date of manufacture.When the anti-exposure coveralls lack a legible dateof manufacture (DOM) and a service life check can-not be verified, the applicable coverall shall be con-sidered non-RFI and removed from service. If theDOM can be established via records maintained onthe coverall, the DOM shall be stenciled in permanentmarker on the coverall and shall be considered theDOM for the purpose of service life check. Unlessotherwise noted the anti-exposure coverall service lifeshall start on the first date of the month of the dateof manufacture and expire on the last day of thatmonth.

NOTE

If the contract number is legible on a cov-erall without a legible DOM, the contractnumber can be used to establish a DOM.For example, a coverall with a contractnumber of SPO100-98-D-4018 was builtsometime after the year 1998 as the con-tract was awarded in 1998. Thus the DOMfor this particular coverall with no legibleDOM bu t a l e g i b l e c on t r a c t n umbe rSPO100-98-D-4018 could safely be estab-lished as JAN 1999.


2. Check the date of manufacture to ensure thatthe anti-exposure coverall is not beyond its estab-lished 12-year service life. The date of manufacturetag is located on the inside of the suit near the en-trance slide fastener. The anti-exposure coverall shallbe replaced if service life expires prior to the nextinspection cycle, unless the next inspection cycle isshortened to comply with the service life expirationdate. When the coverall reaches the service life limit,it shall be returned to supply for disposition.

5-121. C O N D E M N I N G CW U - 8 6 / P A N DCWU-87/P COVERALLS. See paragraph 5-122 Def-initions, 5-124 Damage Dimensions and 5-126 Indi-vidual Component Repair Limits and Table 5-13 Re-pairs and Fabrications for complete list of definitionsand repair limitations.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-101

NOTE

If a coverall needs repairs within the re-p a i r a b l e d i m e n s i o n s a n d l i m i t s i nTable 5-13, and paragraphs 5-122 through5-126 but because of a combination ofcoverall age, previous repairs, new dam-age, and excessive time to repair, the re-pairing maintenance activity may deter-m i n e r e p a i r i n g t o b e e c o n om i c a l l yinfeasible.

5-122. DEFINITIONS.

5-123. The fol lowing defini t ions shal l be usedthroughout this section to identify the various func-tions being performed.

1. Beyond Economical Repair (BER): That pointat which a coverall would cost more to repair it thanit would cost to replace it with a new coverall. Thisusually occurs when the coverall is reaching the endof its serviceable life but can also happen to newercoveralls that have been extensively damaged. Deter-mination of BER should take in to account the man-hours and materials that will be expended to repairthe coverall. Although wage tables are not availablefor this calculation it is within the scope of the I-Lev-el technicians to use their judgment, experience andintuition when deciding how much repair is too much.

2. Patching: repairing a tear, rip, or hole by sew-ing a new piece of fabric or tape along the perimetersof the damage, then heat seal taping those sewnedges.

3. Porous Area: fabric that is visibly intact yet stillleaks. During water test the criteria shall be: If one(1) drop of water falls from the underside of thecoveralls in 10 seconds or less, the coverall shall berepaired. Coverall shall be repaired if during the airtest a soap bubble forms twice in the same spot in10 seconds or less.

4. Reinforcing: repairing a small tear, small rip,small hole or small porous area by heat seal tapealone.

5. Coverall Panel: an individual section of the cov-erall, e.g., each sleeve, leg front, leg back, body(above crotch line and below neckline) front, or bodyback.

6. Original Construction Seam Tape: the originalseam tape that was applied at the manufacturing plantin the construction of the coverall.

5-124. DAMAGE DIMENSIONS.

5-125. The following are various dimensions to beused throughout this section when determining damagethat can and cannot be repaired.

1. Hole: Round damage or puncture; an entire cir-cular or elliptical shape missing from the fabric.

c. Small: Pinhole; less than 1/16-inch diameter.

d. Large: Less than 3-inch diameter.

2. Nick/Gouge/Pit: Damage in neoprene layer ofa wrist seal:


3. Split/Crack: Linear damage at an edge throughall layers of a wrist or neck seal:


4. Porous Area: Fabric that is visibly intact yetstill leaks:

a. Small: Less than 1-inch diameter circle.

b. La rge : Less t han 7 inche s by 7 inche s .Patches over large porous areas cannot be within oneinch of each other.

5. Rip: Linear damage; that is, a long continuouscut with no other adjoining cuts:

a. Small: Up to 1-inch long.

b. Large: Up to 10 inches in length.

6. Tear: “L”- or “T” shaped damage; that is, along continuous cut with a short connected perpendic-ular cut at one or both ends:

a. Small: Up to a 1-inch long with 1/2- inchlong cross-wise cut(s).

b. La rge : Less t han 7 inch in l eng th wi th1/2-inch long cross-wise cut(s).

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-102

5-126. INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT REPAIRLIMITS.

5-127. The following are repair limits for the variouscomponents of the anti-exposure assembly.

1. Main coverall panels:

a. May not have more than one large patched;tear, rip, hole or porous area.

b. May not have more than 25% of any panelarea repaired by reinforcement and/or patching - this25% being a cumulative total of previous and newrepairs. This 25% calculation excludes original seamtaping and reinforcement.

c. Any damage that intersects a seam is notrepairable.

2. Socks:

a. May be replaced individually or in pairs.

b. Pinholes, small porous areas, small tear,small rip up to 25% area of sock.

3. Seam Tape: Original Construction.

NOTE

Replacement of the original constructionseam tape (and subsequent repaired/re-placed seam tape) shall be at the discretionof the I-level facility doing the repairs.The 15 continuous inches stated belowshall be considered flexible to a certaindegree. The integrity of the coverall is themost important factor in deciding howmuch seam tape to replace. I-level techni-cians must use their experience and intu-ition when deciding how much seam tapeis safe to replace. If the technician feelsthat 15 continuous inches in a certain sec-tion of the coverall is too much to replacefor safety reasons then don’t replace thetape and condemn the coveralls. If on theother hand the technician needs to repairover 15 inches and feels that it is safe todo so then replace the tape and return thecoverall RFI after leak testing

a. Original Construction Seam Tape: Repairs be-yond 15 inches are not normally recommended. How-ever, final determination of repair will be at the dis-cretion of the workcenter.

b. Repairs on seam tape attaching componentsto the coverall (e.g. anti-exposure socks) are permissi-ble only if the existing item (attached components)remains intact. If component part is damaged removeseam tape and replace component.

4. Wrist Seal:

a. Neoprene: Nick/Gouge or Split/Crack lessthan 1/2 inch long.

b. Neoprene: Only one repair within any 1 sq.inch of seal.

c. Fabric Panel: Up to 25% of the fabric panelmay be repaired/reinforced.

5. Neck Seal:

a. Fabric Panel: Up to 25% of the fabric panelmay be repaired/reinforced.

6. Slide Fastener:

a. Repair is limited to reattachment and replace-ment of the slide fastener unit to the coverall. Norepair of slide fastener itself is authorized.

7. Calf Pockets:

a. Slide fastener is replaced with Hook and piletape.

b. O-level repair.

c. Unlimited repair of fabric.

8. Pencil Pocket:

a. O-level.

b. Replacement of Hook and pile tape on flapand pocket; flap; replace slide fastener with Hook andpile tape.

9. Cuff, Wrist:

a. Patch, replace Hook and pile tape, replacestrap.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

10. Knife Pocket:

a. Replace pile fastener tape O level.

b. Patch/reinforce, I level.

5-128. STORAGE.

5-129. To store the CWU-86/P or CWU-87/P coverallsand CWU/23/P, CWU-72/P, CWU-81/P or CWU-82/Pliner the following guidelines and procedures shall befollowed:

CAUTION

The CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P coverallsshould be stored in a cool, dark place asprolonged exposure to the sun’s high heat,ultra-violet rays or other sources of ozonewill degrade the adhesives and all types ofrubber. Keep coveralls away from gasoline,oil and other petroleum products as theydissolve the adhesives.

NOTE

The gloves and hood shall remain in thepockets of the coveralls and placed withthe CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P coverallsduring periods of storage. The underwearshall be retained by the individual aircrew-member and not put into seasonal storage.

NOTE

For short-term storage, do not insert hang-er through neck seal opening because endscould puncture and possibly damage theneck seal. Insert hanger through the entryzipper, and push hanger head from belowthrough the neck seal opening.

5-130. SHORT TERM STORAGE. Between flights,coverall shall be hung on a plastic or wooden hangeror folded in accordance with Figure 5-31, and storedin a clean protected area.

5-131. SEASONAL STORAGE. Storage during thewarmer months when anti-exposure protection is notrequired for flight. Coveralls in Seasonal Storageshall be maintained on their normal 180/360 day in-spection cycles and do not require a Place-In-Service

inspection upon removal from seasonal storage. Referto folding instructions for seasonal storage.

5-132. LONG TERM STORAGE. Coveralls beingstored rather than being maintained on a 180/360-dayinspection cycle (for whatever reason), shall be con-sidered in Long Term Storage. A coverall that hasgone beyond its 180-day inspection shall be consid-ered out of service and in Long Term Storage andmust be documented as such. Coveralls being re-moved from Long Term Storage shall have a com-plete Place-In-Service Inspection completed and docu-mented in accordance with paragraph 5-154.

1. Ensure that coveralls are clean and completelydry.

2. Open and lubricate entrance slide fastener; slidefastener shall remain open during storage.

3. Fold coveralls in accordance with Figure 5-31.Place coveralls in individual plastic bags and clearlylabel with aircrewmember’s name and organization.

4. Loosely pack bagged coveralls in a cruise boxor other appropriate storage container. Clearly labelwith aircrewmember’s name and organization.

5. Store containers in a cool, dark, dry area.

5-133. PREFLIGHT AND POSTFLIGHT INSPEC-TIONS. The preflight and postflight inspections shallbe performed on the coveralls by the aircrewmemberto whom the coveralls are issued prior to and aftereach flight. To perform the inspection, inspect thefollowing:

NOTE

If any discrepancies are noted, return cov-eralls to PR’s for further inspection.

1. Cleanliness of assembly components.

2. Inspect surface of coverall, wrist seals, neckseals, and socks for damaged fabric, holes and looseor broken stitching.

3. Inspect slide fasteners for damaged chain, loose/missing teeth, loose/missing stops, improper chainalignment, damaged or split end seal blocks, damagedor missing pull tabs (metal and fabric), and frayedslide fastener tape.

4. Turn coveralls inside out, repeat steps 1, 2 and3, and inspect seam tapes for looseness or fraying.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-104

5. Turn coveralls right side out. Inspect slide fas-tener for proper operation. Inspect overall conditionof coverall.

NOTE

Preflight and postflight inspections are per-formed in exactly the same manner. Afteraircrew completes postflight inspection,coveralls shall be hung on a wooden orplastic hanger, inside out, allowing cover-alls to air-dry in a cool, dry, well-venti-lated area away from sunlight. Do not in-sert hanger through the neck seal openingbecause the ends could puncture the neckseal. Insert hanger through the entry slidefastener and push hanger head from belowthrough the neck seal opening.

Take measurements using theprocedures in Chapter 10 of this manual “CustomFitting.” Take measurements with the aircrewmemberwearing the correct size and configuration of under-wear with liner.

NOTE

Quality Assurance (QA) points are in-cluded in inspection, repair, and replace-ment procedures. When a procedure is un-derlined, there is a QA requirement. Afterperforming procedure, stop and have Qual-ity a Assurance Representative ensure thatstep has been performed correctly.

5-137. O-LEVEL WRIST SEAL UNIT INFORMA-TION. The aramid fabric panel of the wrist seal unitallows attachment to the coverall sleeve by sewingand heat seam taping aramid cloth to aramid cloththereby eliminating the need to use adhesives in thereplacement of wrist seals. The wrist seals units aredual manufactured, i.e. they are constructed of aflame resistant aramid fabric panel and a neoprenecone-shaped gasket. Together the neoprene cone-shaped gasket and the aramid fabric panel are re-ferred to as the wrist seal unit (Figure 5-39). Thewrist seal units are manufactured so that each unitcan be attached to either the right or left sleeve; thereare no left and right sleeve units, just one unit thatfits either left or right sleeve.

Figure 5-39. Wrist Seal Unit/Sleeve Construction

5-138. O-LEVEL PROCEDURES FOR INSPECT-ING THE WRIST SEAL UNIT. Removal and re-placement of neck seals is an I-Level function. O-Levelshall perform preinstallation inspection of wrist seal unitas outlined below and then forward wrist seal and cov-erall to I-Level for removal and replacement. Wrist sealunits for the CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P coveralls areassigned a shelf life of three years. However, they maystill be serviceable beyond the assigned expiration date.All wrist seals may be installed regardless of expirationdate only after passing the following inspection to de-termine their usability:

NOTE

Wrist seals for the CWU-86/P Series andthe CWU-87/P Series coveralls come indi-vidually packaged, not as a pair.

1. Visually inspect each wrist seal for cracking,especially at the top edge of the neoprene and whereit is attached to the fabric panel.

2. Lay neoprene gasket on its side and press out flat.Hold neoprene gasket at top and bottom edges andgently stretch vertically. Inspect for cracks and deterio-ration of the neoprene gasket and attachment point ofthe neoprene and the fabric panel. Repeat this proce-dure until the entire circumference of the wrist seal has

been inspected, inside and out. If cracks or deteriorationare identified, discard wrist seal.

3. Lay neoprene gasket wrist seal on its side andpress out flat. Hold neoprene gasket at its sides(folded edge) and gently stretch horizontally. Inspectfor cracks and deterioration, especially where heatseal tape reinforces the butted seam on the inside ofthe neoprene. Repeat this procedure until the entiresurface of the neoprene gasket has been inspected,inside and out. If cracks or deterioration are identi-fied, discard wrist seal.

4. Examine wrist seal unit seam tape for integrity.If tape has delaminated, deteriorated or has lost itsintegrity discard wrist seal unit.



5-139. FITTING OF THE WRIST SEAL UNIT TOTHE AIRCREWMEMBER. Wrist seal units are one-size-fits-all, trim-to-fit. The neoprene gasket end ofthe wrist seal opening must be trimmed, 1/4 inch ata time, until an acceptable fit has been achieved. Anacceptable fit is when the seal creates a watertightbarrier around the wrist through complete range ofmotion of the hand about the wrist, without restrict-ing blood flow to the hand, i.e., not too tight. If wristseal fitting is required, proceed as follows:

NOTE

The neoprene wrist seal gasket opening isvery narrow when manufactured in order toaccommodate very small wrist sizes. Itmay not be possible for the aircrewmemberto don until some initial trimming is donein accordance with step 1.

1. Have aircrewmember don the unit, if possible,and observe the overall fit of the neoprene gasket ofthe unit on the aircremember’s wrist. Have the air-crewmember doff the unit and if the neoprene wristseal gasket is too tight trim the wrist seal 1/4 inchat a time. The best technique is to cut in one motionand avoid repeated small snips. Trimming incrementsshall not exceed 1/4 inch at a time.

2. After trimming wrist seal, have aircrewmemberdon unit and determine seal restriction and water-seal-ing characteristics. Make any adjustments in accor-dance with step 1.a until the neoprene wrist seal gas-ket fits the aircrewmember.

Repairing seam tape on the neoprene sealand patching of the fabric panel with seamtape is authorized but is an I-Level func-tion and covered under I-Level repairs.

1. Scrub nicked/split area by brushing surface andnicked edges with toluene. Let dry 20 minutes.

2. Apply neoprene adhesive to nicked edges, over-lapping glue on shiny side 1/4-inch. Butt edges andapply hand pressure until bond forms. Allow 24 hoursto dry.


5-141. O -LEVEL REPLACEMENT OF THEWRIST SEAL UNIT. Removal and replacement ofthe wrist seal unit is an I-Level function. O-Levelshall inspect the new wrist seal unit and then forwardnew wrist seal unit and coverall to I-Level for remov-al and replacement.

5-142. O-LEVEL NECK SEAL UNIT INFORMA-TION. The aramid fabric panel of the neck seal unitallows attachment to the coverall neck by sewing andheat seam taping aramid cloth to aramid cloth therebyeliminating the need to use adhesives in the replace-ment of neck seals. The neck seals units are dualmanufactured, i.e. they are constructed of a flameresistant aramid fabric panel and a latex bellows-shaped gasket. Together the latex bellows-shaped gas-ket and the aramid fabric panel are referred to as theneck seal unit (Figure 5-40). The latex neck seals aretrim-to-fit and must be trimmed to the individual air-crewmember. Initial fitting and replacement of a dam-aged neck seal using the neck seal unit shall be ac-complished as outlined below.

All neck seal units (P/N3769AS110-1 or -2) may be installed regardless ofexpiration date only after passing the following in-spection to determine their usability:

1. Visually inspect each neck seal for cracking,especially at the open edges of the seal (i.e. top andbottom edges).

2. Lay neck seal latex gasket l on its side andpress out flat. Hold latex gasket at top and bottomedges and gently stretch vertically. Inspect for cracksand deterioration. Repeat this procedure until the en-tire circumference of the latex gasket has been in-spected. If cracks or deterioration are identified, dis-card neck seal.

3. Lay neck seal latex gasket on its side and pressout flat. Hold latex gasket at its sides (folded edge)and gently stretch horizontally. Inspect for cracks anddeterioration. Repeat this procedure until the entiresurface of the latex gasket has been inspected. Ifcracks or deterioration are identified, discard neckseal.

4. Examine neck seal seam tape for integrity. Iftape has delaminated, deteriorated or has lost its in-tegrity discard neck seal.



5-144. O-LEVEL FITTING OF THE NECK SEALUNIT TO THE AIRCREWMEMBER. Neck sealunits come in only one size and are trimmed to fit.Type I neck seal units are for the men’s CWU-86/Pand type II neck seal units are for the woman’sCWU-87/P coverall. The latex gasket of the neck sealunit can be trimmed at the initial fitting if necessary.If no excessive seal restriction exists, and seal fit isacceptable to the aircrewmember, then do not trim thelatex gasket. Latex gasket of the neck seal unit shallfit snugly and remain in direct contact with the neckthrough all normal head movements. Neck seal gas-kets are manufactured with the trim lines spaced 1/4inch apart, pre-molded into the latex rubber of theneck seal. Table 5-17 shows the relationship betweenthe aircrewmember’s neck size and the pre-moldedtrim lines on the latex neck seal. Refer to Table 5-17for fitting/sizing information. To find the aircrew-members neck size proceed as follows:

CAUTION

Trim neck seal with extreme caution. Asmooth trim line is essential. Avoid nick-

ing latex, as this will result in tearing sealwhen donning and doffing.

1. Neck circumference: Locate voice box (Adam’sapple). If having trouble finding it, ask individual toswallow, the voice box will visibly move up anddown. Measure neck at level of the voice box. Thetape may not be parallel to the floor, since the mea-surement should be taken with the tape perpendicularto the long axis of the neck. Record the neck mea-surement.

Step 1 - Para 5-144

CAUTION

Excessive trimming could result in looseseals that leak and necessitate replacement.To ensure a well fitting neck seal and toavoid any chance of cutting the neck sealtoo big, always err on the side of cautionwhen trimming the neck seal. When indoubt about which line would best fit anindividual aircrewman, trim the line onesize above that which was determined instep 2 and then trim down one additionaltrim line if necessary.

2. Refer to Table 5-17 to locate the trim line corre-sponding to the measurement obtained in step 2.Carefully trim neck seal along whichever pre-moldedline that best corresponds to the aircrewmember’sneck size. The best technique is to cut in one smoothmotion and avoid repeated small snips that could nickand ultimately tear the neck seal.

3. After trimming seal, have aircrewmember doncoverall to determine seal restriction and water-seal-ing characteristics.. If neck seal gasket is still tootight continue to trim the neck seal gasket one trimline at a time until the neck seal fits the aircrewmem-ber.

NOTE

The 360-Day shall be performed as part ofthe place-in-service inspection and every360 days thereafter unless the coverall hasbeen placed in long term storage in accor-dance with paragraph 5-132.

5-167. I-LEVEL AIR AND WATER LEAK TESTSUMMARIZATION AND SCREENING PROCEDU-RES. Procedures for the leakage test have been mod-ified for the CWU-86/P and CWU-87/P coveralls.Previously, the Water Test Device was used exclusive-ly for testing and locating leaks in the coveralls. Inorder to make testing and repair easier and to provideleakage testing at sea, the procedure is now to usethe Air Leak Test Fixture (see paragraph 5-168) totest for leaks first and possibly bypassing the waterleak test altogether. The following are general guide-lines to follow when screening for leaks. Keep inmind that the object here is to test for, isolate andrepair leaks. Facilities without an air test fixtureshould contact their TYCOM to obtain one.

1. All coveralls should be leak tested with the airtest fixture first in accordance with paragraph 5-168.If the coveralls pass the air leak test, then the cover-alls are RFI and there is no need for further leaktesting.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-126

a. Shore Based Leak Test Screening:

(3) If coveralls fail the air leak test, and thelocation of the leaks cannot be immediately determinedby feeling for escaping air or by detecting bubbleswith theuse of a soapy solution then the locationof the leak or leaksshall be isolatedwith theWater Test Device in accordancewith paragraph 5-169.

(4) Once repairs have been completed the re-pairs shall be verifiedwith either the Air Leak Test Fixtureor the Water Test Device. Continue leakage isolation andrepair process until coveralls pass either the air or waterleakage test and are deemed RFI.

b. Deployed Units Leak Test Screening:

(5) If coveralls fail the air leak testing an at-tempt shall be made to identify the location of the leak orleaks by feeling for escaping air or detecting bubbles byusing a soapy solution to isolate the leaks. If location ofleaks can be determined, the coveralls shall be repairedand the repairs verified with the Air Leak Test Fixture.Continue this process until either the coverall passes theAirLeakTest and can be returned asRFI or it is determinedthat the locations of the leaks cannot be located withoutuse of the Water Test Device.

(6) Coveralls that fail the Air Leak Test andcannot be repaired shall be forwarded to a shore-basedI-Level for testing of the location of the leak(s) by theWater Test Device.

5-168. I -LEVEL AIR LEAK TEST PROCEDU-RES. To perform the air leak test proceed as fol-lows:

Materials Required


1 Lubricant Stickzipperease


1 Wrench, 5/16 inch commerciallyavailable

1 Bottle, Applicator,screw cap withdispensing spout,plastic, 28 ozcapacity

8125-00-488-7952or equivalent



As Required DishwashingLiquid

7930-LH-000-1971or commerciallyavailable

1 Leak Test Fixture(Procured throughTYCOM)

1936AS100-1

1. Prepare soapy solution by mixing 1/2-ouncedishwashing liquid to 16 oz of water in spray bottle.Shake contents until foam appears in spray bottle. Alarge sponge dipped into a basin of soapy water (1/2oz to one gallon of water) can also be used as amethod of finding leaks.

2. Lubricate main body and convenience slide fas-teners with zipper ease. Turn coverall inside out.Close all slide fasteners and ensure sliders are tightagainst top stops. Close chest fastener tight againsttop stop by reaching through the neck seal.


4. Place the test fixture inside the coverall at thecenter of the neck seal opening, so the lower platerests on the inside back of coverall.

Step 4 - Para 5-168


6. Tighten the locking nut finger-tight to compressthe neck seal flat between the upper and lower plates.Tighten with a wrench 1/2 turn more.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-127

Step 6 - Para 5-168

7. Fold wrist seals twice, and clamp with wristseal clamps.

Step 7 - Para 5-168


CAUTION

Ensure pointer on 3-way valve is pointingtoward gage when connecting air source.

NOTE


8. Connect a dry, filtered, clean low-pressure airsource to the test fixture at the male quick disconnectfitting. Slowly rotate the black pointer on the 3-wayvalve toward the air inlet and slowly inflate the cov-eralls to 7.5 inches of water. If you go beyond the7.5 inches of water pressure rotate the black pointerto the bleed hole in the 3-way valve to bleed exces-sive pressure down to 7.5 inches of water. Leavepointer facing gage and observe gage for pressuredrop. If gage pressure has dropped, ensure the nut onthe top plate is secure and not leaking and the wristseal clamps are secure and not leaking. If pressurecontinues to drop, apply soapy solution around theouter edge of the upper plate assembly and the latexneck seal. If bubbles form, indicating that a leak ispresent, deflate coverall and repeat steps 5 through8. If all clamps are secure and not leaking but thecoverall cannot be stabilized at 7.5 inches of waterthen there is probably a catastrophic leak in the cov-eralls; the leak needs to be identified and repairedbefore proceeding with the air test; proceed to step10. If water pressure is stabilized; proceed to step 9.



NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-128

NOTE

When step 10 states that if pressure dropis indicated set coverall aside for isolationof leaks by water test it is not implyingthat obvious and easily detected leaksfound during the air leak test cannot firstbe repaired in accordance with the ap-propriate repair sections and the coverallair tested again. Step 10 is simply attempt-ing to avoid wasting valuable time and ef-fort trying to locate a pin sized leak withthe soapy solution.

11. Using the palm of your hand, cover the com-plete surface of the suit until the damaged area isdetected. Mark damaged area and deflate the suit andrepair in accordance with Paragraph 5-170.

12. If no damage can be detected in Steps 10 or11 then using a sponge cover the suit with a soapywater starting at the neck working your way downto the feet ensuring that the front of the suit is com-pletely covered. Note do not leave suit inflated andcovered in soap solution for longer than 5 minutes.

13. Check complete front of suit for any leaksusing your waterproof pen, mark any leaks found onthe suit (leaks will show as continuous bubblingforming on the suit surface).



16. On completion of the test check that all leaksare clearly marked on the suit.

17. Switch off compressor, disconnect air source.rotate pointer toward air inlet and loosen nut to dumppressure. remove air line, wrist clamps and faceplateassembly.

18. Rotate pointer arrow toward gage to returngage reading to zero.

19. If coveralls fail the air leak test and the loca-tion of the leaks cannot be immediately determinedby feeling for escaping air or by detecting bubbleswith the use of a soapy solution then the location ofthe leak or leaks shall be isolated with the water testdevice in accordance with Paragraph 5-169.


21. Repair if required in accordance with Para-graph 5-170.

22. Any suit repaired for leakage must be retestedin accordance with Steps 1 through 24.

23. Verify repairs.

7. Extend remaining (right) sleeve of coverallthrough slot provided in side of inspection platformand close top gate. Secure all four latches.

WARNING

Coveralls must be filled with water as de-scribed below. Do not attempt to shortcutfilling procedures or overfilling, spillage,and seam rupture could occur.

NOTE

Ensure bottom portion of remaining clampwith knobs is in hanger provided in top offixture prior to filling coveralls with water.Place top portion of clamp within easyreach of operator. Water test shall be per-formed in one complete cycle, start to fin-ish, without interruption.

8. Route water hose over the platform hook andplace water hose into sleeve opening. Grasp waterhose and wrist seal/sleeve firmly making sure toleave an opening in the sleeve to allow air inside thecoverall to escape while filling the coverall with wa-ter. While holding hose and arm, turn pump on bydepressing footswitch and fill coverall until waterreaches to the shoulder of the coverall sleeve.

Step 8 - Para 5-169

NOTE

If water does not flow from hose within 5seconds after operating foot switch, primepump by switching on and off several ti-mes.

9. Remove hose from the sleeve while firmly clos-ing the sleeve opening.

10. While holding the sleeve opening firmly closedslowly rotate the platform 90.. upward from the hori-zontal position to the vertical position, lock in placewith the platform arm hook.


11. Hold the sleeve up as straight up as possibleand continue to fill the coverall until the water reach-es to within 6 inches of the sleeve opening. Again,keep an opening in the sleeve as the coverall is fill-ing to allow air to escape from the coverall.


12. Remove hose and clamp off sleeve openingwith the sleeve clamp.


13. Rotate the inspection platform back to the hor-izontal (front facing upwards) and lock in place. Thecoverall should be firm to the touch, (step 13) likea well-inflated helium balloon, not gelatinous orwobbly like an under inflated helium balloon, (step13a).

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-132



NOTE

Because of all the different sizes and mod-ifications authorized on the coveralls it isimpractical to try to give accurate mea-surements for the amount of water thateach coverall should hold in order to betested. The concept is to get enough waterin to the coverall to have the water press-ing hard enough against the fabric andseams to uncover any flaws in the materialthat would cause the coverall to fail itsfunction; that of keeping an aircrewmem-ber alive until rescue personnel can locatethem.

14. While the inspection platform is in the hori-zontal position (front of coverall facing upwards),inspect back of the coverall (underside) for leaks,including areas under the thigh and ankle securingfastener tapes by temporarily loosening the hook andpile closures. Where water appears on coverall sur-face, blot area dry with an absorbent material (papertowel, etc.). If water appears and drips within 10seconds, mark suspect area for patching using onlychina marking pencil or tailor’s chalk.

NOTE

All four sides of the coverall will be in-spected in steps 14 through 17. Alwayspush the platform up and away from you,90_ at a time so that each of the four stepscompletes the entire coverall.


15. Rotate the platform 90_ to the vertical posi-tion; lock in place with the platform arm hook. In-spect the portion of the coverall closest to the splashpan. Where water appears on coverall surface, blotarea dry with an absorbent material (paper towel,etc.). If water appears and drips within 10 seconds,mark suspect area for patching using only chinamarking pencil or tailor’s chalk.

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

5-133


16. Rotate the platform 90_ to the horizontal posi-tion again so that the front of the suit is at thebottom closest to the splash pan. Inspect the front ofthe coverall and slide fastener box stitching near sealblock for any water leakage. If water appears anddrips within 10 seconds, mark suspect area for patch-ing using only china marking pencil or tailor’s chalk.


17. Rotate the platform 90_ to the vertical andlock in place with the platform arm hook so that thesleeve with the arm clamp is resting in the bottomof the splash pan. Inspect the final portion of thecoverall closest to the splash pan. Where water ap-pears on coverall surface, blot area dry with an absor-bent material (paper towel, etc.). If water appears anddrips within 10 seconds, mark suspect area for patch-ing using only china marking pencil or tailor’s chalk.


18. To drain the water from the coverall, releasethe platform arm hook and rotate the platform up andpast the horizontal position (this will get as muchpressure off the sleeve opening as possible). Whileholding the platform in position with one hand graspthe sleeve opening firmly closed with the other andhave an assistant slowly release the arm clamp. Slow-ly allow the sleeve to open and water to drain outin to the splash pan.

NOTE

When the clamp is first released water willgush out of the coveralls and all over thefloor unless the sleeve opening is heldfirmly closed when the clamp is releasedand opened gradual ly al lowing only asmall amount of water to escape at a time.Assistance may be required to hold theplatform in place, release the clamp andhold the sleeve closed all at the same time.

8. Connect a dry, filtered, clean low-pressure airsource to the test fixture at the male quick disconnectfitting. Slowly rotate the black pointer on the 3-wayvalve toward the air inlet and slowly inflate the cov-eralls to 7.5 inches of water. If you go beyond the7.5 inches of water pressure rotate the black pointerto the bleed hole in the 3-way valve to bleed exces-sive pressure down to 7.5 inches of water. Leavepointer facing gage and observe gage for pressuredrop. If gage pressure has dropped, ensure the nut onthe top plate is secure and not leaking and the wristseal clamps are secure and not leaking. If pressurecontinues to drop, apply soapy solution around theouter edge of the upper plate assembly and the latexneck seal. If bubbles form, indicating that a leak ispresent, deflate coverall and repeat steps 5 through8. If all clamps are secure and not leaking but thecoverall cannot be stabilized at 7.5 inches of waterthen there is probably a catastrophic leak in the cov-eralls; the leak needs to be identified and repaired

Step 13A - Para 5-228

NOTE

Because of all the different sizes and modi-fications authorized on the coveralls it isimpractical to try to give accurate measure-ments for the amount of water that eachcoverall should hold in order to be tested.The concept is to get enough water in to thecoverall to have the water pressing hardenough against the fabric and seams to un-cover any flaws in the material that would

cause the coverall to fail it’s function; thatof keeping an aircrewmember alive until res-cue personnel can locate them.

14. While the inspection platform is in the hori-zontal position (front of coverall facing upwards),inspect back of the coverall (underside) for leaks,including areas under the thigh and ankle securingfastener tapes by temporarily loosening the hook andpile closures. Where water appears on coverall sur-face, blot area dry with an absorbent material (papertowel, etc.). If one (1) drop of water falls from theunderside of the coveralls in 10 seconds or less, thecoverall shall be repaired. Mark suspect area forpatching using only china marking pencil or tailor’schalk.

NOTE

All four sides of the coverall will be in-spected in steps 14 through 17. Alwayspush the platform up and away from you,45_ at a time so that each of the four stepscompletes the entire coverall.


15. Rotate the platform 45_ to the vertical posi-tion; lock in place with the platform arm hook. In-spect the portion of the coverall closest to the splashpan. Where water appears on coverall surface, blotarea dry with an absorbent material (paper towel,etc.). If one (1) drop of water falls from the under-side of the coverall in 10 seconds or less, the coverallshall be repaired. Mark suspect area for patching us-ing only china marking pencil or tailor’s chalk.

16. Rotate the platform 45_ to the horizontal posi-tion again so that the front of the suit is at thebottom closest to the splash pan. Inspect the front ofthe coverall and slide fastener box stitching near sealblock for any water leakage. Where water appears oncoverall surface, blot area dry with an absorbent ma-terial (paper towel, etc.). If one (1) drop of waterfalls from the underside of the coverall in 10 secondsor less, the coverall shall be repaired. Mark suspectarea for patching using only china marking pencil ortailor’s chalk.


17. Rotate the platform 45_ to the vertical andlock inplace with the platform arm hook so that the

sleeve with the arm clamp is resting in the bottomof the splash pan. Inspect the final portion of thecoverall closest to the splash pan. Where water ap-pears on coverall surface, blot area dry with an absor-bent material (paper towel, etc.). If one (1) drop ofwater falls from the underside of the coveralls in 10seconds or less, the coverall shall be repaired. Marksuspect area for patching using only china markingpencil or tailor’s chalk.


18. To drain the water from the coverall, releasethe platform arm hook and rotate the platform up andpast the horizontal position (this will get as muchpressure off the sleeve opening as possible). Whileholding the platform in position with one hand graspthe sleeve opening firmly closed with other hand havean assistant slowly release the arm clamp. Slowlyallow the sleeve to open and water to drain out intothe splash pan.

NOTE

When the clamp is first released, waterwill gush out of the coveralls and all overthe floor unless the sleeve opening is heldfirmly closed. When the clamp is releasedand opened gradual ly al lowing only asmall amount of water to escape at a time.

Assistance may be required to hold theplatform in place, release the clamp andhold the sleeve closed all at the same time.

5-298. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF EX-HAUST VALVE. The exhaust valve is a one-way checkvalve that allows air inside the ARSD to be vented outwhile preventing water entry when swimmer is in thewater. The exhaust valves are designed to be easily re-placeable.

NOTE

The exhaust valve is comprised of four (4)major pieces: (1) A knurled black cap with8 small top circular vents (blue flange vis-ible through the 8 holes) with a threadedstem on the underside (male portion) (2) Asolid black cap with four vents on the un-derside stem (female portion) (3) Rubbergasket and (4) Rubber gasket (rubber gas-kets are identical and interchangeable).Number (1) above, the male portion of theexhaust valve can be further broken downinto (1) cap piece (knurled black cap with8 circular vent holes) (2) Blue flange (3)Threaded stem assembly that the blueflange attaches to and sits in. When re-moving and replacing the exhaust valve, ifthe cap piece and the threaded stem assem-bly becomes separated, simply twist cappiece clockwise onto the threaded stem andtighten until snug; do not over tighten anddo not remove the blue flange.

1. To remove the exhaust valve, proceed as fol-lows:

a. Locate the exhaust valve on the right sleevejust below the elbow.

CAUTION

Process of removing exhaust valve is un-twisting and removing by hand. However,if non-RFI valve is hard to remove byhand use large pliers on the male portionto remove the valve. Thread damage as aresult of removal is not a concern becausethe valve is to be discarded. Be sure notto pinch and damage the fabric of theARSD during the process.

b. To access the underside of the exhaust valve,open and enter the ARSD through the front entryslide fastener. Insert hand down though the rightsleeve and firmly grasp and hold the female portionof the exhaust valve.

c. Grasp the male portion of the exhaust valveand twist counter-clockwise until valve is loosenedenough to remove.

d. Once the exhaust valve is completely re-moved from the sleeve of the ARSD, discard all 4pieces.

2. To install new exhaust valve, proceed as fol-lows:

NOTE

Survival Vests

Section 6-1. SV-2B Survival Vest

6-1. GENERAL.6-2. The SV-2B Survival Vest provides maximum use-ful storage for survival equipment, consistent withminimum bulk and weight. See Figure 6-1, Figure 6-2,and Figure 6-3. In addition, the survival vest providesfor in-tegration of a life preserver and the chest-mounted oxygen regulator. It does not interfere withuse of either the regular or integrated-type parachuteharness.

6-3. CONFIGURATION.6-4. The SV-2B Survival Vest, MIL-V-81523 (NIIN00-139-6174) is constructed basically of nylon cloth.An adjustable harness, leg straps, and an entranceslide fastener provide a means of fitting and securingthe vest to the aircrewmember. Elastic straps at therear allow greater comfort and mobility for the wearer.Pockets are provided for stowage of survival items.See Figure 6-4. When required, the chest-mounted ox-ygen regulator is located inside a pocket secured to thevest by means of hook and pile tape (except for S-3and AV-8 series aircraft).

6-5. For S-3 and AV-8 series aircraft, the oxygenregulator is mounted on a mounting bracket attached tothe vest in accordance with ACC-308 (for S-3 seriesaircraft) or ACC-375 (for AV-8 series aircraft). SeeFigure 6-2 and Figure 6-3.

6-6. SV-2B Survival Vests modified by ACC 522 topermit expansion of circumference of vest for wearover bulky clothing are reidentified as CMU-21/P22P-7(V), P/N 67A100H41-1.

6-7. SV-2B Survival Vests with side pockets withheavy medium slide fastener chains opening from rearare to be modified in accordance with ACC 599 Revi-sion A to add an additional slide to each side pocket.Double slide configuration provides increased accessto stowed survival items and improved safety. Nochange in nomenclature. Part number changes to67A100D2-401 after ACC 599 Rev A.

6-8. SV-2B Survival Vests intended for use by USMCCH-46D/E, CH-53D/E, MH-53E, and UH-1N helicop-

ter aircrews who are equipped with the A/P23P-14A(V) Respirator Assembly shall be modified whenplaced in service to accommodate the A/P22P-9A(V)Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) Protec-tive Assembly in accordance with ACC 616. SV-2BSurvival Vests intended for use by all other USN/USMC rotary wing aircrews who are equipped withthe A/P22P-14(V)1 CBR Respirator Assembly shallbe modified in accordance with ACC 616. Survivalvests modified by this directive and redesignatedCMU-23A/P become dual purpose vests. For routinemissions where there is no potential of CBR expo-sure, the CMU-23A/P vest is configured like a normalSV-2B Survival Vest. With interchangeable pocketconfiguration, however, the CMU-23A/P vest can bequickly reconfigured for missions requiring CBRprotection.

6-9. SV-2B Survival Vest, P/N 67AS100D2-51, usedby aircrews of USN/USMC helicopter, E-2C, andC-2A aircraft shall be modified in accordance withACC 638 to accommodate the SRU-40/P HelicopterAircrew Breathing Device (HABD). After modifica-tion the part number of the modified SV-2B SurvivalVest shall be 67AS100D2-601.

6-10. DRAWINGS INDEX. Table 6-1 indicates thedrawing index and nomenclature for the SV-2B.

6-11. APPLICATION.

6-12. The SV-2B is designed for use by all aircrew-members.

NOTE

ACC-522, 522 AM1 and 522 AM2 autho-rizes the installation of an extension panelinto the SV-2B for aircrew members of P-3all series and rotary wing aircraft to ac-commodate both bulky clothing and bodyarmor. Once modified, the SV-2B is re-identified as the CMU-21/P22P-7(V) P/N67A100H41-1 (See Section 6-2). See NAV-AIR 13-1-6.7-1 for authorized aircraft andthe authorized configuration of vest andbody armor.

CHAPTER 7

HELICOPTER AIRCREW SURVIVALAND ARMOR PROTECTIVE ASSEMBLY

A/P22P-15


7-1. GENERAL.

7-2. During the Vietnam War it became apparent thathelicopter aircrewmembers needed body armor protec-tion while flying over hostile territory. However, thisrequirement could not be satisfied at that time becauseavailable T-65 body armor was not compatible with theaircrewmember’s survival vest/life preserver combina-tion. This led to the development of the HelicopterAircrew Survival and Armor Protective Assembly, afully integrated survival vest, flotation assembly, andhard and soft small arms protective body armor. TheHelicopter Aircrew Survival and Armor ProtectiveAssembly can provide protection, both front and back,for the vital organs of the aircrewmember’s torsoagainst armor-piercing rounds up to .30 caliber. Thisarmor is also fully compatible with theCMU-30/P22P-15 survival vest and the LPU-21/P lifepreserver. The Helicopter Aircrew Survival and ArmorProtective Assembly has been designed to provideone-hand, two-operation quick disconnect of the hardarmor plates. The soft armor assembly can be worn incombination with the other A/P22P-15 components toprovide small arms and fragmentation protection. Spe-cifically, the soft armor provides protection Type IIIA,which is a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standardof protection against small arms such as .44 Magnumand 9mm. The hard armor provides Type IV protec-tion, or up to .30 caliber armor-piercing bullets.

7-3. CONFIGURATION.

7-4. Components required to assemble the A/P22P-15are the CMU-30/P22P-15 survival vest, PRU-60/P22P-15 orPRU-60A/P22P-15 small arms protective soft body ar-mor, PRU-61/P22P-15 or PRU-61A/P22P-15 smallarms protective hard body armor, and LPU-21/P lifepreserver.

1. The survival vest comes with all the accompa-nying pockets for survival gear. However, the indi-vidual survival items must be obtained separately.Repair and fabrication of any part of the entire en-

semble is limited to those materials and proceduresfound in this chapter. However, if the soft armor bal-listic inserts (black pouches) or the hard armor ballis-tic inserts are damaged, they must be returned to themanufacturer or discarded, as appropriate. Both thePRU-60/P22P-15 small arms protective soft body ar-mor and the PRU-61/P22P-15 small arms protectivehard body armor, but not the CMU-30/P22P-15 sur-vival vest, can be obtained, in all sizes, thru the GSAschedule from the manufacturer, Protective MaterialsCompany, Tel: 305-820-4414.

2. The small arms protective soft body armor isavailable as a complete assembly consisting of front,back and side panels and the H-harness. If desired,the front soft body armor subassembly, which consistsof the front soft armor and its casing, may also berequisitioned. The H-harness allows the wearer towear only the front soft armor without the supportingback soft armor and its accompanying straps. Theside soft armor panels may also be requisitioned sepa-rately. If replacement of casing or H-harness is neces-sary, either can be fabricated at I-level maintenance.

3. The small arms protective hard body armor isalso available as a complete assembly consisting ofthe front hard armor plate and its accompanyingbeaded pull-handle, and the back hard armor plateincluding the connecting quick release and back ar-mor retaining straps. Replacements for the front orback hard armor plates may be obtained through sup-ply channels. However, if replacement of the beadedpull-handle, any of the straps or the front and backhard armor insert encasement are required, they mustbe fabricated. Authorized fabrication of required re-placements shall be performed by I-level maintenanceusing materials and instructions in this chapter.

7-5. Sections 7-2 and 7-3 address the CMU-30/P22P-15 survival vest and the body armor, respective-ly. See NAVAIR 13-1-6.1-2, for LPU-21/P mainte-nance procedures.

Section 7-3. Small Arms Protective Soft and Hard Body ArmorPRU-60/P22P-15 and PRU-61/P22P-15

7-52. GENERAL.

7-53. The Soft Small Arms Protective Body Armor,PRU-60/P22P-15, of the Helicopter Aircrew Survivaland Armor Protective Assembly will provide air-crewmembers with protection from small arms such as.44 magnum and 9mm as well as certain ballistic frag-ments. The Hard Small Arms Protective Body Armor,PRU-61/P22P-15, will provide increased protection forvital organs of the torso against up to .30 caliberarmor-piercing bullets. If the CMU-30/P22P-15 vest isnot worn, the soft armor may be worn using the front,back and side sections. If only the front soft armor isdesired for protection in the helicopters with armoredseats, with or without the side sections, the H-harnessmust be worn for support. Similarly, the front hardarmor may be worn without the back hard armor, but thefront hard armor depends upon the soft armor casing as acarrier. Therefore, the soft armor must be worn in orderto wear the front hard armor. Also the vest must be wornin order to wear both the front and back hard armorbecause of the necessary quick disconnect and backarmor retaining straps.


7-55. The complete protective body armor assemblyconfiguration includes the following (Table 7-4 andFigure 7-15):

1. Soft Armor Casing (SM, MED, L, XL):

a. Front (SM, MED, L, XL)

b. Back (SM, MED, L, XL)

c. Sides (SM, MED, L, XL)

2. Soft Ballistic Inserts:

d. Front (SM, MED, L, XL)

e. Back (SM, MED, L, XL)

f. Sides (SM, MED, L, XL)

3. Hard Armor Encasements:

g. Front (SM, MED, L, XL)

h. Back (SM, MED, L, XL)

4. Hard Ballistic Armor Inserts:

i. Front (SM, MED, L, XL)

j. Back (SM, MED, L, XL)

7-56. Soft ballistic insert assemblies are constructed ofa multi-layered, ballistic, high-strength aramid clothencased in a water-repellent nylon cover. Inserts areplaced inside the casings. The soft ballistic insertassemblies provide wrap-around coverage and somefragmentation protection for the upper body. Casingsare fitted to the aircrewmember shoulder and sidestraps with hook and pile tape. The casing assembliesfor the side soft ballistic inserts fit to the front andback casing assemblies through a combination of hookand pile fasteners and snap fasteners.

1. If wearing only the front soft armor is desired,an H-harness is available. The H-harness is worn onthe crewmember’s back and the hook and pile on theH-harness straps attach to the respective hook andpile on the front soft armor.

2. The hard ballistic inserts are constructed of aceramic, ballistic, composite material and a nylonspall shield. The nylon spall shield will effectivelycontain most projectile and ceramic spalling and pro-vides a high degree of anti-fracturing capability. Thefront hard ballistic armor (Figure 7-15) fits into amaterial lip on the front of the soft armor casingassembly and is secured with hook tape on the backof the encasement. The back hard ballistic armor(Figure 7-16) has a quick-disconnect system of strapswhich attach to the front of the CMU-30/P22P-15with a beaded pull-handle for ease of release. Thissystem was designed for a one-hand, two-operationa c t u a t i o n f o r h a r d a r m o r r e m o v a l . T h eCMU-30/P22P-15 vest has two straps which fold overthe bottom of the back hard armor, forming supportand securing the hard armor by pressing the hooktape on the vest straps (Figure 7-15) to the pile tapeon the hard armor encasement (Figure 7-16).

1. A properly fitted survival and armor protectiveassembly will allow for soft ballistic inserts to belocated so they extend from the waist to the collarbone. The location of the flexible, side, soft ballisticinserts and hard ballistic armor inserts may subse-quently be adjusted within the limits of the hook andpile attachments to provide optimum protection andproper fit.

NOTE

The body armor must fit snugly to the per-son to provide maximum effective protec-tion and coverage of the torso.

2. The armor used in the survival and armor pro-tective assembly will be sized to correspond withcasing size. An aircrewmember requiring a small as-sembly will use small sizes of the soft ballistic insertsand hard armor plates. The back armor retainingstrap may be adjusted to position the back hard bal-listic armor properly.

3. Since there are only two sizes of vests (mediumand large) and four sizes of body armor, Table 7-7lists compatible size combinations.

Materials Required



Commercial

WARNING

Ensure all soft ballistic insert assemblieshave been removed prior to washing thecasing assembly. Although the soft ballis-tic insert assemblies are covered with wa-t e r r e p e l l e n t n y l o n , wa t e r may s e e pthrough the stitching. Upon drying, high-strength aramid cloth recovers its originalballistic characteristics. However, watermay be retained within the water-repellentcover if the insert is subjected to washingwith the casing assembly. When wet, un-treated aramid cloth could lose up to 40%of its ballistic capability thereby becominga threat to the wearer’s safety.

NOTE

Detergent shall be mixed in accordancewith instructions on detergent contain-

er. Wash casing assembly only with otherhigh temperature resistant, flame retardantmaterials (textile aramid flame retardant).

1. Fasten the hook and pile to prevent entanglingwith other articles.

WARNING

JP-5 fuel, grease or other combustibles em-bedded in casing assembly fabric will burnat their normal flash points even thoughthe aramid cloth will not burn until a high-er temperature is reached. Be sure the cas-ing assembly is thoroughly clean and freeof combustibles prior to further use. Dryclean or machine wash as necessary.

2. Immerse casing assembly in a proper mixtureof a commercial laundry detergent and luke-warmwater.

NOTE

Heavily soiled and/or stained casing as-semblies may require high-temperature wa-ter for best cleaning. Casing assembliesthat are heavily soiled and/or stained withoil or grease may be pre-treated with acommercial pre-wash detergent.

a. Allow casing assembly to soak for five min-utes. Agitate gently (by hand) for two minutes anddrain water.

3. Rinse casing assembly in cool, fresh water anddrain the water. Repeat rinsing until all traces ofdetergent have disappeared from the rinse water.

CAUTION

Do not dry casing assembly in direct sun-light.

4. Hang casing assembly on a wooden or plastichanger in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heatand any open flame.

5. Remove loose dirt from hook and pile fastenerand outer cover surface using a cloth or soft brush.Do not use a stiff bristle brush.

7-69. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE. Correctivemaintenance of the soft and hard body armor assem-blies and hard armor plate encasement assembliesshall be limited to the general maintenance instruc-tions discussed in paragraph 7-62. No maintenance isauthorized on the hard armor plates. If the hard ar-mor plates are dropped or receive other abnormaltreatment, or a defect is suspected, they shall be in-spected by a nondestructive method at I-level. TheI-level inspection will determine if the plates are tobe discarded, returned to the manufacturer for furtherinspection, or reissued. The soft ballistic inserts mustbe replaced if their ballistic aramid cloth is dam-aged. If damage is found such as tears in the ballisticaramid cloth, badly worn areas in which the threadused to sew layers together is damaged, or evidencethat the fabric is unravelling, the ballistic insert shallbe replaced. Small rips or tears in the water-repellentblack covers of the soft ballistic insert assembliesmay be repaired using any water repellent tape com-patible with nylon under the following conditions:

1. No damage to the ballistic aramid cloth isfound.

2. There is no moisture inside the insert (the bal-listic aramid cloth).

3. The repair material is also water-repellent.

4. After repair, the insert cover remains water-re-pellent.

CAUTION

The hard body armor is made of fragileceramic material and must be handledcarefully. The hard armor plates should beinspected before each operational use toensure there are no surface cracks whichmight degrade ballistic protection. Harda rmor p l a t e must be rep l aced i f i t i scracked, has been hit, or received roughtreatment in any way which may causedamage. For example, if an unprotectedhard armor plate hits a hard surface at thespeed of 12 feet/second (i.e. a drop froma height equal to one yard onto a t i lefloor) the armor should be sent to I-levelfor further inspection by an authorized rep-resentative, even if there is no visible dam-age to the exterior of the plates.

NOTE

The ballistic nylon spall shield which cov-ers the ceramic plates could conceal interi-or damage to the ceramic material of thehard armor.

Hard armor may be reissued if it is deter-mined to be acceptable by I-level after ra-diographic inspection in accordance withMIL-STD-453 by an operator qualified inaccordance with MIL-R-11470.

7-70. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT.

7-71. CASING ASSEMBLY, SOFT AND HARDARMOR. Repairs on casing assemblies shall be per-formed at the lowest technically capable maintenancelevel, using an industrial/medium-duty sewing ma-chine and high temperature-resistant nylon thread.

Section 8-8. FV-9 Laser Eye Protective Spectacles (LEPS)

8-102. GENERAL.

WARNING

FV-9 Laser Eye Protection Spectacles arenot shatterproof or breakproof and do notprovide an unbreakable shield against eyeinjury.

8-103. The FV--9 Laser Eye Protection SpectaclesNSN: 4240--01--458--5567 consists of a monolithicPolycarbonate lens, mounted on a lightweight wrap--around sports frame. The FV--9 is designed for univer-sal fit with adjustable temples, full front and laterallaser protection and they can be worn over someprescription eyewear. They are carried in a crashresistant carrying case.

8-104. The FV--9 spectacles are designed to protectthe eyes from the harmful effects of exposure to twodiscreet laser wavelengths. The polycarbonate lens isformed through an injection molding process, incorpo-rating an absorptive dye designed to absorb laseremissions ranging from about 800 nanometers (nm)through at least 1064 nm. The FV--9 spectacles provideover 4 OD of attenuation for the two lasers againstwhich they were designed to protect. This level ofprotection is somewhat higher than EDU--1/P spec-tacles and neodymium visors but the added protectioncomes at the expense of transmissivity of visiblewavelengths. This higher level of protection is suffi-cient for all hand held IZLID devices, LANTIRN andATFLIR tactical mode. FV--9 provides no protectionagainst wavelengths above 1100 nanometers (thereforeno protection against ATFLIR training mode at 1540nanometers or airborne laser wavelengths). For moredetailed description of optical densities required forspecific laser weaponry, refer to https://home.nav-air.navy.mil/PMA202/LSRB (laser safety reviewboard) site.

8-105. APPLICATION.

WARNING

FV-9 laser spectacles are physically com-patible with Night Vision Image IntensifierSets (NVIIS). There is a potential for re-

duction in aircrew acuity due to reducedtransmittance when wearing the FV-9 andNVIIS. Low light and poor weather condi-tions can further degrade the performanceof the NVIIS and FV-9 combination. Firsttime users of the FV-9 spectacles shall ac-complish a crew station visibility assess-ment in night unaided and aided modesprior to flight.

8-106. These spectacles are intended for use by allfixed- and rotary-wing aircrewmembers subject to po-tential laser exposure while operating in the vicinity oflaser detection, ranging, or designating systems.

8-107. FITTING.

8-108. The spectacles are designed for a universal fit,adjust the temples to the individual crewmember’scomfort.

9. Lay the temple arm housing flat on table sur-face where the slotted side is facing up and gogglesare perpendicular to table surface. Place one drop ofglue into slot near the cut edge. Ensuring heat shrinkon the new temple arms does not slide back or be-come pinched by the end of the temple arm housing,slide the new temple arm into slot with hinge on thenew temple arm facing up. New temple arm shouldsnap into place when it reaches the end of the slot.The heat shrink should sit just inside the temple armhousing. Add another drop of glue at end of templearm housing cut edge. Let dry for a few minutes.Check hinge for ease of movement. Recheck hingemovement several more times until glue has com-pletely dried. Repeat this step for the other new tem-ple arm insertion.


10. Cut two 1/2 inch lengths of 3/8th inch adhe-sive lined heat shrink set aside one cut piece of heatshrink. Slide one of the 1/2 inch heat shrinks overthe new temple arm and temple arm housing so thatit covers most of the temple arm housing and thereis 1/8th inch of heat shrink left hanging over thetemple arm housing cut end. The heat shrink shouldcover the slot. Fold temple arm to ensure heat shrinkis not obstructing the hinge movement. Using heatgun shrink the heat shrink until tight around templearm housing and the 1/8th inch is tight around theheat shrink that is on the new temple arm.

11. Repeat steps 10 for the other temple arm.

8-111. MAINTENANCE.

The basic NCE concept is based on anadvanced technology system developed by the UnitedStates Air Force. The Navy enhanced the USAF sys-tem with Navy unique features compatible with currentlife support, survival, and rescue equipment. The man-side components of NCE consist of theHGU-87(V)/P22P-16 Helmet and the HGU-89/P22P-16Helmet, MBU-24/P22P-16 Oxygen Mask,CSU-21/P22P-16 Counter Pressure Vest, CRU-103/POxygen Regulator, and CSU-20/P22P-16 Anti-g Gar-ment. The anti-g valve system installed in the aircraftsenses the onset of positive g-forces and automaticallyprovides pressurized air to the anti-g garment andoxygen regulator. Regulated oxygen is then suppliedto the NCE assembly equipment to provide for vestand helmet bladder inflation and positive pressurebreathing. See Figure 9-2 for functional diagram ofthe NCE system.

9-3. CONFIGURATION.

9-4. The HGU-87(V)/P22P-16 helmet is a modifiedHGU-68(V)/P. The modification provides for automat-ic tensioning of the mask required for anti-g (PBG)pressure breathing. It consists of an air bladderinstalled between the thermoplastic liner (TPL) and theenergy absorbing liner in the lower rear portion of thehelmet. A bladder air/oxygen supply hose passesthrough the helmet shell and is connected to the female

side of a quick disconnect. The bladder is automatical-ly inflated with the onset of positive g-forces to keepthe aircrewmember’s mask tight to his face while theNCE system is providing positive pressure to themask. The quick disconnect permits separation of thehelmet and mask for maintenance and parachute de-scent procedures. The helmet visor is modified on thelower edge to fit snugly against the MBU-24/P oxygenmask. Refer to NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-3 for details of theHGU-87(V)/P helmet or HGU-89/P22P-16.

9-5. The CSU-21/P22P-16 Counter Pressure Vest As-sembly is worn over the standard flight suit. The vestinflates with oxygen to a pressure determined by theautomatic valve system installed in the aircraft toprovide counter-pressure breathing to counteract g-for-ces. Refer to Chapter 4, Anti-g Garments, for detailsof the CSU-21/P.

9-6. The CSU-20/P22P-16 is similar to the CSU-13B/Pand CSU-15/P but provides a 40% increase in leg andabdomen coverage to further aid in restricting the flowof blood to the lower portion of the body. For detailsof the CSU-20/P, refer to Chapter 4, Anti-g Garments.

9-7. The MBU-24/P22P-16 Oxygen Mask containsseparate inhalation and exhalation valves. TheMBU-24/P is specifically designed for use with theHGU-87(V)/P helmet and the NCE system. Refer toNAVAIR 13-1-6.7-3 for details of the MBU-24/P oxy-gen mask.

9-8. The HGU-89/P22P-16 Helmet is a modifiedHGU-85(V)/P. This modification provides for the useof MXU-810/U Night Vision System and can be modi-fied to accommodate the AN/AVS-9 Night VisionImage Intensifier Set (NVIIS).

10-3. Custom, or tailor-made, flight clothing beginswith obtaining correct measurements of the individualfor whom the flight clothing is being tailored. Correctmeasurements can only be determined by following

NAVAIR 13-1-6.7-2

10-2

proper measurement procedures. The intent of thischapter is to provide these proper measurement proce-dures.

10-4. ACCESS TO PHYSIQUE. Proper measure-ments can not be determined without access to theindividual’s body shape. Attempting to obtain measure-ments of an individual whose body shape is obscuredby street clothing containing personal items such aswallets, pens and pencils, insignia, etc. will not producethe desired results. Light physical training clothes arethe recommended choice of clothing to be wearing dur-ing the measurement process because they tend to bethin and brief. Running shorts and tank-top are bestbecause a lot of bone structure that help to definemeasurements are visible. Spandex or other expandablematerial is not good because such material compressesthe shape of the body too much. If the individual tobe measured is not wearing the recommended apparel,have them empty all pockets and remove belts, shoesand socks. If the person is wearing a T-shirt under adress shirt, the dress shirt should be removed.

10-5. POSITION. The person to be measured shouldstand straight, eyes looking forward (preferably at afixed point), heels together, and weight evenly distrib-uted on both feet. The arms should hang at the sidesnaturally unless otherwise instructed.

10-6. SUPPORT EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS. Rec-ommended equipment and tools required for this proce-dure includes a full length mirror, a cloth or vinylmeasuring tape (in good condition and legible), a3 X 5-inch piece of 1/8-inch thick cardboard, an 8-footmetal measuring tape, adhesive tape, a grease pencil,a rubber band, and NAVAIR Form 10126/1 on whichto record all measurements.

10-7. THE WAISTLINE - MALE VS FEMALE.Location of the waistline is an extremely importantfactor. If not correctly determined, other measurementswill also be incorrect. A good estimate of waistlinelocation is where a person chooses to wear a belt.However, men and women normally wear their beltsdifferently. Women tend to wear waistbands on top oftheir abdomens at the narrowest point of their waist,while the position a man wears his belt often dependson his general physical condition. If he has a protrud-ing abdomen, he may wear his belt below his abdomen.Generally, however, a man wears his belt in a nearhorizontal position resting on his pelvic, or hip-bone,and crossing his body in the general area of his navel(see Figure 10-1). If the individual is wearing runningshorts, the waistband position of the shorts may not bea good indicator since they tend to ride a littlelow. Have an adjustable belt available so the individualcan position it where normally worn.

10-8. PROBLEM AREAS.

10-9. Accuracy can not be over-emphasized. A smallerror in a critical measurement may affect other criti-cal measurements resulting in rejection of the garmentand unnecessary cost. If an individual has an unusual-ly proportioned body, ensure a complete description ofthe difference is provided in block 15 of NAVAIRForm 10126/1, (Figure 10-2) and/or provide aphotograph of the individual with the order.

1. Pos i t i on of t he measur i ng t ape i s impor-tant. Some of the circumference measurements re-quire the tape to be horizontal, parallel to the floorall the way around, while other measurements mustbe vertical. Use of a full length mirror to act asanother pair of eyes will ensure proper tape posi-tion. Another source of error is caused by movementof the individual being measured. Having the personstare at a given eye-level point within the room orout a window while being measured may help elimi-nate or reduce movement. Holding the tape too tight-ly compressing the individual’s body will also resultin an inaccurate measurement.

2. Proper completion of Form 1348 and NAVAIRForm 10126/1 is also essential for satisfactory custo-mizing. Complete all required tasks and enter data onforms accurately and legibly. Missing, incorrect, orillegible data may result in unsatisfactory completionof the order. See paragraph 10-26 and Figure 10-4.

3. If at all possible, send in several requisitions ata time. Customizing is done by contract and a singleor small order requisition may not receive the promptaction that larger orders receive. Keep track of ordersand timing and take action when required. If theorder is not received in 30 days contact the follow-ing:

Standing at individual’s side, pass themeasuring tape across the fullest part of the chest,around the back and to the front. Use the full lengthmirror to ensure tape is kept horizontal and parallel tothe floor across the back and all around. The individualshall then place hands at the side and relax the shoul-ders. Take measurement when the person inhales natu-rally. Record measurement in block 3.

NOTEDo not hold tape tight enough to compressany part of the person’s body.

At times the tape may slip off the chest,especially when measuring a woman. Donot pull tape tighter to keep it in place. Donot let the person hold the tape in place;raising the arms will cause the chest toexpand. Try rubbing wax on the tape tokeep it from slipping.

When measuring a woman, she should bewearing a bra like the one she normallywears when flying.

Starting at the elbow, slide hand up thearm until the shoulder ball is reached (the shoulder ballwill roll when the arm is raised). Just above the shoulderball is a flat-edged bone (acromion) which does not rollwhen the arm is moved. Use the outside edge of theindex finger to line up against this bone. Trace the endedge of this bone until the back “corner” is reached andmark the position with a grease pencil. Repeat this proce-dure for the other shoulder. Measure the distance betweenthe marks to determine the back width and record mea-surement in block 7.

Para 10-1810-19. SLEEVE LENGTH (BLOCK 8). Determinesleeve length as follows:

1. Standing behind the individual locate the cervi-cal bone (the large bony knob at the base of theneck). If the bone is not apparent, ask the individualto bow head and lower the chin to the chest and thebone will protrude. Keep tapping your finger on thebone while the individual slowly raises the chin toits normal position and place a mark on the skin atthe middle of the bone.

2. With the individual in standing position, findthe wristline on the dominant arm and place a rubberband around arm at that point. (The wristline is theplace where the hand joins the wrist and the hand canmove side to side as well as up and down.)

3. Measure sleeve length from the mark at thecervical, crossing over the middle of the shoulder balland down to the rubber band at the wristline. Recordsleeve length in block 8.

It is imperative thatthe pattern makers have a starting point to use inmanufacturing a custom fit item. Use block 14 to helpthe pattern makers by annotating the (NIIN) of the itemthe aircrew is currently wearing (best fit) and describein detail why that particular size isn’t working (e.g.arms too short) for the aircrew. The NIIN for the cur-rent or best-fit clothing item must also be annotated inthis block.

10-26. EXAMPLE OF COMPLETED NAVAIRFORM 10126/1.

10-27. The following is an example of what couldhappen when a patternmaker at Defense Supply Centerreceives a NAVAIR Form 10126/1 which has beenprepared without due regard for accuracy and legibili-ty.

1. Using the measurement example below, checkyour work. If rise is not within recommended esti-mates or measured height does not equal estimatedheight, the person should be remeasured. In column1, using data provided, determine rise. (It should be

9 to 12 inches for men and 11 to 14 1/2 inches forwomen.)

2. First the patternmaker will check the data re-ceived. If he finds apparent errors and/or what ap-pears to be conflicting data, he will attempt to con-tact the requesting organization for confirmation ofthe data. However, due to illegible or missing dataon the form, the requesting organization can not becontacted to confirm or provide the data. The pattern-maker must therefore proceed using experience andvarious charts and tables at his disposal. Referring tothe completed NAVAIR Form 10126/1 (figure 10-4)the appropriate data is obtained and the mathematicsindicated in the measurement example below is per-formed.

3. After all other measurements provided are cor-rected to the patternmaker’s satisfaction, using pro-vided height, weight, and chest circumference data,the best fitting size will be determined from appropri-ate size charts. The result may or may not be any-where near the custom-sized garment desired.

10-28. The process above is provided to emphasize thenecessity of ensuring accurate, legible data and theneed for checking all data to be provided. One wrongmeasurement or illegible entry can snowball intowasted time, effort, and cost.

APPENDIX A

THE METRIC SYSTEM AND METRIC UNITCONVERSION CHARTS

The Metric System simply and logically coordinates the measurements of length, area, volume, and mass intoone decimalized system. United States currency, with its unexcelled convenience, was the first large scalenational use of a decimal system. The ratio between the units of the series - dollars, dimes, cents, andmills - is ten. Additions and other numerical operations are simple. Calculations with metric units require noconversion from unit to unit, as for example between inches and feet or ounces and pounds.

In the Metric System there is one series of units for length, one for area, one for volume or capacity, one formass, and one for temperature.

LENGTH - The common metric units of length are the millimeter (mm) for small dimensions, the centimeter(cm) for daily practical use, the meter (m) for expressing dimensions of larger objects and short distances andthe kilometer (km) for longer distances. The centimeter is about four-tenths of an inch. The meter is about fortyinches and the kilometer about six-tenths of a mile (figure A-1). When drawing to metric scale, engineeringand product dimensions are in millimeters. Architectural drawings can be in millimeters or centimeters. On landsurveys the unit is the meter. On maps the kilometer is the unit of measurement.

AREA - Small areas are usually measured in square centimeters (cm2). In building and construction the squaremeter (m2) is used and is about 20 percent larger than a square yard. The hectare (ha) is used for land surveysand is about 2.5 acres.

VOLUME - For volume the most convenient unit is the cubic decimeter (dm3), referred to as the liter (l). Theliter is slightly larger than the U.S. liquid quart but smaller than the U.S. dry quart and the British Imperialquart. The preferred unit for dispensing unit for dispensing drugs and for scientific work is the cubic centimeter(cm3) or milliliter (ml) as it is also called. For measuring amounts of concrete and excavations the cubic meter(m3) is used.

MASS - In pharmaceutical and scientific work the gram (g) is the most convenient unit. There are slightly lessthan 30 grams in one avoirdupois ounce. For most other uses the kilogram (kg) is convenient and is approximate-ly 2.2 pounds. The metric ton (t), 1000 kg, is used for farm commodities, minerals, and large shipments. It isconvenient that a liter of pure water at standard temperature and pressure has a mass of one kilogram (discrepan-cy less than one part in 10,000). This relationship makes it easy to determine the mass of any known volumeof water, or of any other liquid if its specific gravity is known.

TEMPERATURE - All countries using the Metric System of weights and measures also use the Celsius (C) scale(formerly called centigrade) for ordinary measurement of temperature. On the Celsius scale pure water atstandard atmospheric pressure freezes at 0 and boils at 100. Normal human body temperature is 37_, while acomfortable room temperature is about 22_. The preferred temperature scale for engineering and physics is thekelvin (K) which has the same units as the Celsius and where the freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.

*Mass is the quantity of matter. Weight is a force Earth’s attractionfor a given mass. Generally the term mass is meant when we use weight.

Notes: 1. The three main units; meter, liter, and gram can be changed to more convenient sized units for specificpurposes by means of several well known prefixes. Milli means 1/1000. Centi means 1/100. Deci means1/10. Kilo means 1000. One merely learns the main units and the value of the most commonly usedprefixes. The symbols for metric units are the same for single and plural amounts and are not followed bya period. Rates are usually shown by use of the slash as in m/s.

USE OF TABLES

Following are step by step directions for the solution to anexample conversion problem. The example is: Convert 123/4 inches to centimeters.

1. Convert all fractions to decimals. (Refer to table A-4.)

12 3/4 = 12.75

2. Refer to table A-5 and find the column for the unitwhichyou have. This would be the column labeled “INCHES”in the “Length” table.

3. Locate the numeral 1 in the column labeled “INCHES.”

4. Locate the column labeled “CENTIMETERS.”

5. Read the number in the CENTIMETERS column that isin direct line with the numeral 1 located in the INCHEScolumn.

Read 2.540

6. Multiply the number of inches of this example by theconversion factor to obtain the number of centimeters.

2.540 times 12.75 equals 32.385

7. Round off the answer to not over four significant figures( four numbers counting from the first non-zero numberon the left.
